Hi everybody, having a bit of a issue with my l322, had for the past couple of thousand miles what sounds like a wheel bearing noise (at first we thought tyres but have rotated them with no change), slightly when going straight but most when turning right, especially on quicker roads say 40mph plus on long sweeping bends, sound a bit like a repeating/ rotary noise similar to driving over rumble slowly, hard to explain, no clicks, knocks, bangs.
Had a customer of mine who’s a mechanic have it in today for front left wheel bearing but doesn’t seem to have changed anything, from what iv read if you hear a noise it’s the opposite side (noise sound to be passenger side so would point to drivers side) but mechanic wanted to change passengers first as he said when you turn right, weight is put over to the passenger side bearing causing a noise, which is correct? Or is there no set rule? Out if all my cars non ever needed wheel bearings, did one on the other half’s DS3 but that was obvious which, both mine feel smooth with no play in the wheel, again mechanic said unless it’s ready to disintegrate it can be hard to tell on big heavy wheels as they take much more force to move.
Car drives great and all front suspension arms inc ball joints have been changed within last couple of months, just an irritating whirring/ rumble noise. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

. Another is motorway slips with right hand bend. As I say very slight straight ahead but louder going right, also seems worse on certain road surfaces that’s why at first i swapped front and back tyres over.
