it could be a few things. Could have bad berrings, breaks could be sticking.. I would take it to someone and have it checked. Don't want a stuck caliper (spelling) and your tire lock up.
Brakes
could be a center support bearing or a bad engine mount. i would check those first.
It is the alternator....
what kind of noise?
Front grinding could be a bad wheel bearing or in the front axle assembly.
brake pads shot
A grinding noise in the wheel will either be caused by worn brake pads, or a defective wheel bearing. Remove the left front wheel and inspect brake pads. If the brake pads are OK, you will need to remove the caliber and inspect the wheel bearing.
could be a wheel bearing...or just that its a french car
New CV joints will fix the grinding noise
i have a grinding noise on the front left wheel. i have taken the calipa off and i have one brake pad that is shot. could it be that or can it still be the bearing. how can i find out.
The most common cause is slipping belt
Bad ignition coil
