   Bit different from others, it feels like when turning the wheel is a oval shape, but when normal driving its only a squeel that comes from the left..
   
   In a bit more description, when turning the wheel on the left clunks and the left side of the car goes up and down slightly and makes a horrible clunking sound!

   Has anyone had a wheel bearing get so bad that the left wheel will not move when turning?
   
   Been told a combination of both wheel bearing and driveshaft?
   
   EDIT: Also the car pulls really hard to the left always, literally wrestling with the steering wheel

    sounds like wheel bearings or driveshaft, check simple stuff like tyre pressures first and make sure the wheels have been balanced
