Did the front end made a cheezy joke first?

Was it while steering? Zizing noise is very common, but is usually only heard at low speeds.

No I will get them looked at

OK, what kind of noise?

Like a zzzzzz sound

Going down the road straight at 50

I'm thinking a wheel hub?

Sounds likely. See if the sound changes when you corner steadily.

(And, by the way, you cannot always tell which side is bad by the traditional way. Mine turned out to be the opposite side than I thought, and it was a good thing I bought a pair of new hubs right from the start.)
