Check your CV axle boot. See if it's torn. Could have leaked all of the grease out. If that's the case, it could very well be metal on metal.

It could be a bushing. When I would it hit a bump mine sounded like it was metal on metal and it turned out to be the passengers bushing. But Most defnitely check what the others said to be completly sure.
