Sounds very much like a wheel bearing.

Although, if it is a "deeper" sound it may very well be a CV joint.

I would replace the bearing first, then test.

Welcome aboard!

+1 to the wheel bearing. i suppose it could also be a ball joint, but im about 90% sure that would be a wheel bearing.

i am thinking it;s the wheel bearing too the axle would b more constant n more of a cluck or clunk noise and would make the noise all the time when turnin regardless of brakes or not. but it only happens when turnin left and when the brake is applied like slowin down and makin a turn creates some kind of pressure on the actual bearing itself. never really had an experience like this before but i have to look into futher

thanks for all the inputs so far
