thanks,
chris

it's your wheel bearing...ecstuning sells a new kit for about 60 bucks, you can do it yourself or you can pay a mechanic usually about 100 bucks to do it for you

if your doing it your self just be careful with the ABS speed sensor its easily damaged when removing and refitting parts
