Default lame - suspension problem

I just came back home after evening drive and I got problem which I don't understand. Maybe this is some peculiarity of Ford suspension and somebody will know. Tha car drives and behaves as normal in all conditions apart from left hand corners above 100km/h where I encounter sever vibration of left front wheel. It feels like maaaaasive suspension problem or square wheel but on straight, in tight corners and all the righ handers it is all right. What can it be? Wheel bearing? It's the only thing I can think of but then it should be really loud and noisy.

Thanks for that one. this is what I am currently suspecting. But there can be a problem, after some more driving I must say thare is something wrong with the steering - just don't know yet if the two are connected. On the steering side I am suspecting the time is coming for the steering rack itself.
