noise from what i think is my drivers side driveshaft

[Essay]

ok i was driving yesterday afternoon with my music up and felt a vibration on the accelorater so turned my music down to hear a awful grinding noise, kinda similar to thje sound of a window wiper screachin on a dry window, so today i decided to get the AA involved as i didnt fancy a 60mile trip with this noise, he comes out breaks my sideskirt and passenger side arch then tells me that its the bearings in the diff , if the bearing in the diff has gone would this noise be coming from the drivers side? also if it helps i jacked the car up and spun the offending wheel and it makes a slight clicking noise when its spinning, any ideas what it could be and rough price for getting it fixed would be good too
Cheers

Could be a driveshaft, Cv joint or Wheel bearing? or could be something else.

Unfortunately people on here can only advise on what it might be. Only way to be sure it to take it to a propper garage.

i suppose, its defiantly not a bearing, it happend to my mate who has a 106 and he did all the checks to see if it was a bearing and it wasnt, i thought that if the wheel was clicking while it was rotating that was a CV joint though

[devilsadvocate]

Could well be mate. Easier to change the driveshaft than CV joint as the joint comes as part of the shaft.
