Recently my cars started getting alot louder when im driving 50+ and seems to be at its worst when i go round a left hand bend at speed. At first i thought it wo cos oil wo low but iv topped it up n its no different. Its sounds like a loud rubbing/whirring noise but iv got no idea wot it is? Any one else had this?

jack each corner of the car up and spin the wheel.
