Default Wheel Bearing and possibly something else?

Alright for a while my cars passenger side front has been making a weird noise but it only happens at lower frequencies (like when taking off from a stop if you give it barely enough gas) and when hitting bumps during normal cruising. It sounds like coins rattling on plastic (no that's not it) it comes from the front right wheel well? could it be a shock or spring going bad?

Second Problem is my drivers side wheel well is making a weird noise as well.. it sounds identical to that as if a CV joint went bad.. I checked the CV and it's not that.. I was told it could be the wheel bearings.. but it only occurs while I turn the wheel and not while going straight.

Thanks for all your help guys.

if your brake pads are in good shape then its probably your wheel bearings that are going bad. i suggest that you just change both left and right bearings on the front and youll be in good shape for another 150k.

it your making a sharp U-turn while acclerating out of it and you hear a clicking sound then your axles are bad.

brake pads are in good shape it only makes the sound while making turns... but I'm positive it's not the axles, I just replaced my drivers side 2 months or so ago, and as for the passenger side could it be the wheel bearings as well or what do you think? I'm gonna pop off my wheels tomorrow and take a closer look
