I have a GU wagon and when i turn right i have a noise coming from front left wheel. It seems ok going straight but some noise under braking. the noise is as if there is a stone in the tread, but theres not. cheeked to see if wheel bearing loose but ok.

It has to be Brake brads steel on steel (or caliper rubbing) or wheel bearings. Not much else to cause it.
If it's done a few kays, fit new wheel bearings anyway, and check pad condition.

was it a squeaking noise? Was the noise intermitten? and what and you ask the mechanic to look for?

it was a noise like a stone in the tread. the disc is a bit out of round and hits the caliper or pushes the pads back or something like that. getting fixed Friday.
