Hello all, 
  
I am not sure how to check for the problem to determine what I have to do. While driving, the steering wheel jerks to the left sharply and there is a grinding and clicking noise. It has been getting progressively worse and I was wondering how to check it out and find out what it is. 
  
At first I was thinking it may be the brake caliper, then was thinking wheel bearing or CV Joint, but do not want to take the brakes apart if I need to be looking someplace else. 
  
Thanks for any help or suggestions. 
  
Mark
