Default Which Wheel Bearing has gone????

If i turn right i get a slight rumbling from what i would say is a wheel bearing gone.....if i turn left all is ok.........

sounds more likely a cv joint though

can you hear it all the time or only when you turn ??

does it get louder the faster you go ??

Wheel bearings can sometimes be a pain !! Everything points to one....and it often ends up being the opposite one lol
