Default Strange Front End Noise


Just though I would see if anybody has any ideas before I pull the wheel of and check everything.

Seems to happen primarily when turning right but happens randomly when driving, even when in neutral.

Does not seem to be affected be affected by braking.

Wheel bearing?
.

Jacked up and right wheel bearing has play. Inner CV also has a little play.

CV will have play. The noise could be bearing, do both sides if you can as they often fail pretty close together. But check you lower and upper ball joints, the noise sounded more like a ball joint than bearing.

Checked again and the joint itself has no play so actually looks good. Bearing is wobbly and shot. Plan on doing both. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the reply.
