Default grinding sound (kinda like that guys thread!)

kinda like the thread below, but i have a few different symptoms. when driving straight there is a slight grinding noise. when i turn to the left, about as much asu would during a normal lane change, the sound is loud and felt through the clutch pedal. a full left turn makes no sound, and turing right does nothing. when braking i can feel the vibration through the brake pedal. the sound is louder and can be felt more when speed is increased. i checked ball joints, axle nuts. i noticed that the boot on my pass side axle (boot before it connects to hub) slid down a bit and grease has worked its way out. u think it would be dry inside? your input is appreciated.

Definately your bearing man, I had this happen where i was on the highway and the sound was very loud. Wouldn't drive to much like that cause you don't want to mess it up any more than it is.
