Default Grinding on full lock...

Had my MY03 STi for 4 weeks now but yesterday I noticed a grinding noise from the front left wheel area only when turning hard right.It sounds like the same noise as worn discs but it clearly isn't that.The car is totally standard.....any ideas troops

Thanks TT.......is it ok to just get the offending one done or do they recommend both needing done at the same time.Mine is still in warranty.....just......but how much would a dealer charge?

Boo,

I had this on mine and the stealers were quite strict about only replacing the noisy bearing, although I tried in vain to argue that both needed done!
