    Not too sure but ma mate had this done on his mk6 fiesta and just went to a breakers and his local garage a can't remember how much it cost but a don't think it was too expensive considering you can get brand new wheel bearings for 70 from fordpartsuk but sound of metal scrapping aswell could be something to do with a bad spring Or drum brakes but sounds like bearing tho
