Wheel Bearing?

[kou]

I have the same noise coming from drivers side front. I believe it is the wheel bearing starting to go bad and sticking a little it is annoying but not in a rush to fix.

Thanks Kou , I was thinking the same thing
ANNOYING , tolerable for now , too busy .

I am going to purchase a used spindle then install a new hub and bearing in that so it will be an easy job when I feel the need to change out the bad one.

Found my problem ..
sort of thread jacking ... but it is the same subject
.
I knew my sound was not the same as described by the
original poster , he described very well with his words
' a growling and resonating noise'' and that sounds like a wheel bearing.
. my '' scratch , scratch ,scratch '' noise was different ,
and only when turning left .
turns out it was a brake part , sorry I did not take a picture , but
it is the part of the Caliper that does not move , the part that is held
by 2 17mm bolts , where the rotor almost touches at the bottom ,
when turning , well mine touched just a bit , and it was enough to
make of huge sound , when the brake pads leave a lip on the outer
part of the rotor , that lip gets rusted and creates a crust , that crust
rubbed on the caliper part , took the grinder and removed the lip all
around the rotor , then removed the part held by 2 17mm bolts ,
the brake pads stay attached to that part , so no need to remove
them , and I grounded off some metal , sort of a defect in the
molding of that cast Iron part , a crest in the metal , no more noise .
.
Hopes this helps someone else some day
