what does the noise sound like, hard to say without hearing it, checked wheel bearings?

[sevvtr]

ive checked bearings they spin fine with no movment , the noise sounds like a dry grinding noise

[Iceni]

Could still be a wheel bearing.

The noise is only heard when there is a load on the bearing.

With the front wheel / wheels off the ground grab each front wheel in turn at 9 o'clock & 3 o'clock and twist back and forth while pulling on it.

Then the same while pushing.

Does it feel different?

Can you hear anything?

thanks ive checked beraning but not as much as that just give it a gd shake lol, but if it was abearing why would it only do it when turning left not right? any one think it could be the wishbone/ swinging arm? as ive found a bit of play their!
