Ford KA air/mental on metal & screeching noise

Car: Ford KA
Variant: 2
Model Year: 1999

Categories: Leaks & Noises

Hi,
I recently had a screeching noise sometimes when turning corners and also a general noise while driving.
I had a broken spring coil fixed in the front offside wheel a couple of days ago and thought this was causing the noises but it's still making the noises while driving.
The general noise is hard to describe
but it's possibly air or metal on metal.
MOT due in June.

New Brake pads/discs
New Suspension
(above after an ice accident on front jan 2010)
New clutch (late 2009)

All tyres are good and at correct pressures
and fluids seem to be correct.
Any help appreciated
Thanks,
Dan

Might be worth checking wheel bearing , apart from normal wear , could have been damaged on accident ? When turning , extra load on bearing .
