    Unhappy worn bearing type sound when turning vt v8 clubsport

    Hey there

    I have a 98 VT clubsport With the 304 engine and have been noticing a worn bearing type sound when turning, its fine when im going straight but the sharper the turn the louder it is, i thought it maybe the power steering pump, but its not leaking and the oil is full. I thought it might be the tyres as i work at a tyre store and have two different sorts of directional tyres front and rear, and directional tyres do tend to be noisier on the road, so i rotated them and it was better.
    I changed the front tyres to and Asymetric tyre that are quiter on the road and its still there

    after all this my heads saying its the wheel bearings but i checked the front hubs and theres i no play up or down or side to side and the wheel spins freely without noise

    its got me stumped

    Please help

    most times the vr on type wheel bearing/hub assembly wont have any movement in it but it can be stuffed, not saying this is it but something to look at thurther maybe.
