Noise coming from front left wheel

[creamcake]

Hey just wondering if anyone has had this same problem.
when i hit about 35, 40 onwards i get a sort of whurring metal noise and then it turns into a clipping/ticking/knocking noise as i get faster.. its kinda tempermental though on the clipping part. i dont think its a bearing due to the fact my mates car's bearings nearly ran into the ground and it sounds slightly diff and mine is much louder.

the best i can describe it im afraid, dont think anythings caught but then again i dont know. it started doing it after i came off a long cruise down the me25.

Any ideas would be much appreciated. =]

only thing i can think of is driveshaft

sounds like the cv joint have the cv gaters split lost their grease this causes drying of the bearings hence the knockin tickin noises....

is that expensive to repair/replace? sorry im not great on the workings of cars.

if its just the grease and a gaitor that needs replcaing then you are lookin at about £20-30 max, but if its a drivehaft you are probably lookin at anywhere between 140-180 id say, i got mine done this week for £165
