My driver side tire and wheel is sitting slightly crocked. I've changed the break pads and caliper in the process of finding the issue but I'm not sure what's cause the issue. I hear a steady rubbing metal sound from that area. I've been told by guesses from other that it could be the carrier barring or the CVC shaft. I'm just trying to nail it down so I can fix it.

No, it is not a carrier bearing. It could be a hub bearing that supports that side to keep the wheel straight.

Does the car make a lot of noise while driving? If it is a bearing, it will make a lot of noise. Okay, I attached the procedure for removing the hub bearings for the front wheel. You will need a puller as described in the repair procedure itself.

Once you remove the bearings, I would inspect for scoring and damage. Replace both the bearing and the race if there is any damage.

You will need a long punch and a hammer to remove and install the races.
