noise on drivers side while driving

i here a clunking/ grinding noise on what seems to be my drivers side front of my car. the repetition of the noise increases with whell speed so i dont think its tranny or transfer case. i can feel the vibration through the floor of the car and i can hear it as well. it seems to go away in a left hand curve but seems to get worse in a right hand curve. its always present while going straight. it doesnt go away while pressing the brakes. it seems to be getting a little worse so any thoughts would really be appreciated. thanks. From reading on the forums, I am guessing it's the Wheel bearing, what does that usually cost to get fixed, how bad is that type of thing?

Could be a wheel bearing but those usually sqeel, could be a u-joint, could be anything.

Check your CV boot and makes sure its not torn. If it is, you will probably have to replace the boot and the entire CV joint assembly.

Check your crankshaft pulley to see if it's come apart. The rubber dampener material between the inner and outer rings can seperate.
