    Default Change the wheel bearing?

    Im thinking it could possibly be the wheel bearing, but im really unsure.
    its only when i turn left, and depending on the speed (if that helps any)

    Below is the video i shot during lunch to be able to explain the noise.
    Thanks for yalls help beforehand...

    Jack the front up and push/pull on the wheel from a few angles. There should be no play at all besides from the tire and steering...

    They don't always have play.

    Ozzie, bring it to TDR and we can take it for a spin and give you our assessment.

    Sounds like more of a squeak than a wheel bearing rumble.

    Brake pads? Check to make sure you have the OEM clips and springs installed correctly.
