Default Right front wheel grinding noise 2008 ES350

My wife's never-part-with 2008 ES350 Lexus has developed a slight grinding noise in the right front wheel at slow speeds when the brakes are applied. It has 71,000 miles. It also has new perforated rotors and ceramic brake pads on all four wheels about 2,000 miles ago, which cured the steering wheel chatter. That makes me think the noise is not coming from the brakes?
Is there a way to tell/test where the noise is coming from?
