Hi guys, recently i am have issues with a noise from the front left at speed when turning left , i was wondering if it could be the right or left wheel Bearing and did then test , they seem to have this play any idea ?and did Record it , seems possible?
Or this play could be normal?

You can't tell by manually spinning the wheel?
Often when going around a left hand bend and noise more apparent then the problem is on the right hand one as you are throwing the load onto the right hand side in a left bend.

No i only ear the disc brakes , running nothing special, i noticed a brake pad wear indicador cable cut and and maybe it was touching something at speed , need to test it no that i trimmed it
 
Did not solve it, seems to only do when turning to left , the Bearings usually do all the time right? Ij mot they noticed steering out of alignment could this be derived by it ? They have sayd that is only a tiny bit

Rear wheel bearings are usually continuous noise, but fronts can change with loading as you corner.
 
Is the gaiter split, or signs of weeping oil/grease on the gaiter? if no then...

DO this to both sides.
Grab hold of the drive shaft, and slide it towards the wheel and back and forth a few times.
Then gently push with your thumb the gaiter at a point near to the largest bellows towards the bearings, this forces the grease back into the CV joints, be careful to not split the gaiter, as if it's quite old it won't be so forgiving.

Please post back results after a test drive.
 
Personally in your video I couldn't see much in the way of movement, I was hoping you would spin the wheel if possible.
If not dragging you can sometime hear the noise.
Often a bearing can be noisy with no free play at all showing and vice a versa.

No leaks at all thankfully, all gaskets seem great, i Will give it a go , thanks ;) so just need to move it a bit back and forth and then press a bit on the gaiter close to the Bearing right?

It did some noise like similar to this when i moves slow up and down. if i spin the wheel i only ear the noise of the discs
 
That doesn't sound like a wheel bearing, more like the disc rubbing.
Just a thought, you haven't got a stone trapped between the brake disc and the tin shield behind it?
I think is unlikely since i take pretty good care( washing wheels , wheel well and calipers but definity not impossivel. I Will go check with the mechanic to see if he finds it , i checked previously with other mechanic and he Said is nothing wrong , but honestly the noise is not normal needs to be checked again ;) thanks for the help guys once i solve it i Will post the solution
