Now the grinding sounds gone i now can here the wearring noise. :sad:

lol its not one thing its something else, sound coming from the passenger side again. also been getting a slight knocking sound for about 3weeks now thought it was something to do with the bearing, now thatâ€™s done, still hearing it when doing sharpish right passenger side
