Hi Bill,
When turning left most forces are put onto the right. So you might check the
right front bearing for wear.
Does the sound appear when breaking and turning left combined only or ever
when turning left?
Check the alignment of the front steering.
I noticed a tyre touched on of the suspension bars after reassembling the
front steering when the steering went to the outer lock.
After full alignment this was gone.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Hans

Subject: diagnostic help-left turn grinding
Hi all.
Just when I thought I'd get through the year without a
problem, one crops up and there are 4 'local' shows this weekend and next!
:{
Thought I was beginning to have a brake problem with my left front, but
then I noticed that a grinding noise only happened when I turned left,
slowly,
fast, doesn't matter. It is a clear grinding noise that does increase with
velocity (~few mph to 20 mph).
Can a wheel bearing be so selective in its failure?
The noise is absent going straight ahead and to the right.
Two questions:
i) can you think of any other observations I could make to narrow the
problem down and
ii) any and all suggestions are welcome.
TIA
