Grinding noise from front

[Paulo31]

I have an 04 1.1 Yaris. There has been an increasing sound of grinding coming from the front of the car. This seems to occur when accelerating from standing and when increasing speed. Any ideas please would be great?

Anything stuck in your front brakes? Have you checked underneath to see if there is anything glaringly obvious?

Sounds like a bearing problem. Could be a UJ on one of the driveshafts, check the boots to see if any are split or loose. Brakes tend to grind when you use them, but I would have a look anyway.

Hence my suggestion to check them!😎

Bearings usually rumble unless they are totally destroyed, but that would have been fairly evident before reaching that stage.
