whirring noise

[rob-legend]

i kinda need someone's opinion, well everyones really :lol:
when i'm driving at speeds (50 plus) and turn firmly to the right (round roundabouts/corners) i can here a whirring noise from my back left corner of the car (i'm kinda guessing it's coming from a wheel) its the sort of noise you get when a tire rubs on the inside of the arch, but it wouldn't be that as that end, in theory would be lifting up?! right? :? i'm replacing the brake pads and discs this weekend as they are over due, but i shouldn't of thought that would be causing the noise. any suggestions please? thanks

check the wheel bearings when doing the brakes

forgive me for been new to the car maintainance scene (am only young) but i aint done that before, how easy is that to do? i'm sort of trying to learn as i go along.

jack the rear up with the wheel still on and tightened up. spin the wheel and listen for noise. then hold the wheel at 3 o,clock and 6 o,clock and shake the wheel slowly from side to side and check for wobble which displays wheel bearing wear.
