My cinqy sporting is making a nasty noise. It coes from the front passenger wheel area. It causes the car to rumble and vibrate when accelerating and just grates the rest of the time. Anyone got any ideas? It has been suggested that it could be a gearbox mounting (but i can't see it myself as the clutch has just been replaced and checked by a clutch clinic and they would have noticed hopefully). The other thought is the CV joint but this would be unusual for a Cinq wouldn't it? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Wheel bearing.
