Default Front Squeaking Noise

Hey guys just need your infinite wisdom to help me with this one please.
Travelling a few hundred k's tomorrow so need your opinions to see if this isn't too serious.

My au11 has developed an annoying squeaking noise.
Most noticable when steering to left or right or braking (ie. when mosty weight is on the front).
It is a fairly high pitched squeak that seems to squeak in time with road bumps.
It is definitely coming from the front drivers side. I originally thought the noise was inside the car, however, when I wound down my window I could hear it echoing. So obviously outside but loud enough to come through the firewall.

Been doing a bit of reading and I thought it could be the front bearings but I am no expert.
I'm sorry, but thats the best I can describe it.
I am currently uploading a video if that will help.
Cheers,
Curtley

EDIT: I also experience a scraping/groaning noise when I steer enthusiastically to the right at low speeds. Might be related?
