ok ive got a whirring / grinding noise comnig from the drivers wheel area. managed to get home from southampton, but thought something was gona snap at any moment.

when driving real slow to a stand still there is a real loud, creaking sound, under a lot of pressure you can hear as thoug something is gona crack and brake.

Jaked up front sides in turn., span the wheels, and they made no noise at all, but under load of car, its real bad grinding whirring noise?

wheel baring maybe??

any ways to test, try and pinpoint what it could be? cant drive the car again till its sorted.
