had this for a while now and its starting to get on my wick a bit now

The symptoms are this:

It sounds as if metal is grinding on metal it only does it on mebbe 1/4 lock turning to the left not to the right (front left wheel it sounds like its coming from

and it seems to be a tad worse when the car is cold

Any ideas guys??

Could be the dirt shield behind the disc, maybe even a small stone trapped in there
