Worrying Grinding/creaking Noise!

[~adema~]

Hi Guys

Over the last few weeks my mk1 gal has developed a strange new noise.

Every time i steer left, theres a sort of rubbing grinding sound, but i can't tell if it's coming from the suspension or the steering system. It seems worse if i corner at a higher speed. <_<

I know the description is rather vague but any clues would be appreciated.

I can't afford a big repair bill at the moment but at the same time i don't want to drive my precious family around with what might be a potentially dangerous problem on the car.

cheers

...wheel bearing in all likelihood. Jack it up and grasp the wheel firmly and try to twist it up and down, any rocking means wheel bearing also kick the tyre and listen for any vibration.
