    Left front makes noise, especially when turning right.

    I suspect it's the LF wheel bearing, but just want to confirm.

    Most likely a wheel bearing, unless the noise is a clicking noise, then it's an axle.

    It's not a clicking, more of a "whump whump whump."

    I believe that's the correct technical term.

    Sorry for the dumb question -- I've mostly worked on rear-wheel-drive, solid axle vehicles. So this isn't a thing I've messed with before.

    Thanks, Matt
