you have a wheel barring thats gone bad i wouldnt be driving the car you could mess up the spindle / rotor / and cv joint have a repair man pick it up it will save the car it the long run
look for loose or missing starter bolts,the starter drive pinion gear either worn or damaged or flywheel gear teeth worn or broken. noise you hear if it sound like starter grinding noise check starter mounting bolts could be loosen or 1 missing or drive pinion gear or flywheel gear teeth worn or broken.
Ticking in motor after engine heats up- do you keep your oil changed every 3,000 miles? Broken down and dirty oil will cause this. Squeek over bumps could be bad strut or it could be related to the harsh grinding noise going around turns. That is indicative of a bad CV joint or wheel bearing.
Raise car on side noise is coming from. Grab wheel with both hands and pull/push on wheel then wiggle back and forth. Feel excessive play? Grab drive axle also doing same thing feel for play or notice if rubber boot on drive axle torn or separated from axle. Usually you will feel play or notice a kind of clunking. I would say replace CV joint and wheel bearing at the same time as one will usually affect the other and both will be bad if one has went out. Not an easy fix and requires special tools. Take to a qualified mechanic, it will save you a big headache.
More than likely a bad front wheel bearing. You may be able to jack up the front and feel a loose front wheel at the hub but often times you can't so you have to try and determine which one by driving the car. Try driving on a smooth road and gently do S turns down the road. The noise will usually come and go as you turn from side to side. Have someone else in the car to help you listen, sometimes it can be hard to determine which side and you have to just replace both, but really, they've both got the same mileage.
when turning left vehicle distributes weight to right front wheel bearing causing load. since u describe a noise in right front while driving straight i would suspect failed right front wheel bearing. see if your noise changes/goes away while turning right that should tell u 4 sure
