   i just had both front wheel bearings done as i thought it was these but obviously im wrong...
   
   when im in a carpark and going round and turning i get like a sqeeking/squeeling sound coming from the front, also at higher speeds if i take my foot off the throttle or even take it out of gear i get like a loud humming kind of noise... its horrible!!
   
   any ides what may be causing it?

   as above CV joint drive shaft area, might even be rear bearings ? sometimes can confuse you, would of thought if you had the bearings done at a garage they would of let you no it wasn't the bearings before changing them

   the noise is only when driving... if i put my foot down the noise isnt there its only when i take my foot off the throttle and roll or take it out of gear and roll
   
   BUT
   
   if i steer to the left a little when the noise is there... it goes but ONLY if i turn to the left a little... obviously when i turn back straight it comes back again
   
   it is like a wheel bearing noise, could the cv joint cause that? or gearbox? or something?

   Deffinately a driveshaft/CV problem. Its making the exact same noises mine was, I had to have the driveshaft replaced, no noise on acceleration, then a loud rubbing/squeaking when slowing down.
