Have a 95 GTI VR6 with about 130K - wheel bearings were replaced about 70K. When driving under power in gear with clutch in no noise when driving straight. Turn a bit to the right hear a grinding noise - pretty faint but its there. Turn to the left - no noise whatsoever. No gas just car in gear with clutch let out you hear it even when going straight. Wheel bearing or something else. Which side most likely left of right? Tried putting car on shop jack and tried pressing at 3'oclock and 9 o'clock no movement or jiggling at wheel only at steering rack - but the tie rods are tight (no movement at either joint) - both sides. Spun wheel no noise or grinding except for the discs/pads slightly catching. Any clues?
