| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5smDJPxlvQJust started this noise a few days ago from the drivers front side, it gets louder with speed. My first thought was a CV joint, but it does it when driving straight also. Wanted some second opinions before I go get a new axle. | |

| Mine makes this grinding sound from the front passanger wheel. I'm pretty sure mine is a wheel bearing. It might be your problem too. I guss your breaks could be rubbing or a warped rotor. | |

| I had my car jacked up investigating the noise, and found that BOTH of my inner tie rods have about 10mm play in them! Unsure if that is whats causing the noise, but obviously something(else) I need to fix. | |

| Classic wheel bearing noise. The more you load it. the louder it gets. Easy check. Jack up and put on jack stands, remove front wheels, start car and throw into drive/gear and let the front end spin. With a long screw driver to your ear listen to the hub. You'll be able to clearly hear the bearing grind away if its bad. If its really bad you'll be able to hear the bearing without the steth. | |

| Also if it gets really bad the wheel will wobble like it has loose lug nuts | |
