Default 2014 surburban LTZ front end sound

Sound is usually bad wheel bearing. Changed the wheel bearing on right side even though it felt fine. Sound is still there. You can hear the whomp whomp sound when driving straight intensifies when cornering left, no sound cornering right.

If you are hearing wheel bearing noise when you turn left than the noisy bearing is on the left side .... It is just like when a motorcycle turns it leans into the turn. Cars do too but to a much less degree. When you turn left the weight load goes to the left.

I though it was the other way around. Will change the other wheel bearing sometime this week. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for reporting back your solution. Should help others in the future. It does seem counterintuitive though that the weight would shift to the left wheel when you're turning left since the vehicle leans to the right. Seems like the weight would shift to the right. Can't argue with success though.
