bearings?

 

[chie]

breaks binding slightly, does it pull to 1 side when you do emergancy stops?

could be the brakes like Chie says.

thanks for your help

it will almost certainly be a wheel bearing or the brakes.

Try turning to the right or going on a roundabout turning right on as much lock as you can get and if it does it all the way round, then more then likely your bearings need replacing or tightening up.

Could be that a calliper has seized also, try driving with the noise from the wheel for some distance and check if the wheel is hot to touch more it should be. Also does the noise come and go and isn't always constant?
