Sounds like both to be honest
a bad wheel bearing will gradually hinder you. It will create more and more vibration at any speed as the bearing wears out. I saw as much as a 100 MPG loss due to the car having to work against the bad bearing.
As for the grinding/clinking noise whiling turning. Check to see if your CV boot is oily.. that would signify a bad leaky boot.
ZZP/ottp sells a stg1 axle set (2) for $225 plus shipping
I found 1A Auto : Aftermarket Auto Parts, Car Body Parts, Replacement & New Automobile and Truck Parts | Buy Discount Car & Auto Parts Online is $250.00 for two new cobalt 5 lug spindles w/ ABS sensor.
If you go thru GM, it cost $250 per spindle.
Good luck
