Hi ,ive got a rumbling noise in the car and a noise at the steering wheel when making turns or slightly weaving from side to side,but it goes off when i knock it into neutral and freewheel

can you help me as its doin me head in

thanks
 
I had similar when the the vehicle was turning even slightly to the right.
Thought it was the offside wheel bearing but turned out to be the nearside one, when jacked up and moving the wheels around, couldn't feel any play.
Bearing changed and stopped the annoying sound. Only problem is they aren't cheap at around the £200, coz the hub and bearing come as one unit.

Sounds like your front CV joint is shot. It'll sound fine when there's no drive to it, but when you put power down the drive-train it'll grumble.:(
