Could be a hundred things. CV joints, top mounts, bottom arms knackered.

Does steering feel heavy, or is normal

Whilst stationary engine running obviosly, turn your lock fully left then fully right, see if there's any grinding and squeeling going on.

It's like a grinding mate and it does it when you go over little bumps down road but really bad when turning

I was just eliminating the wheel bearings and other stuff thats all, if you test the steering when stationary and you still get the grinding it would point me to check steering fluid or steering box, if you don't get the noises then somethings making the noise whilst driving.

More than likely top mount bearings if it happens when stationary.

Sounds like bottom swivel joint or wishbone to me.
