Icon6 Sounds coming from the front driver side wheel.

Okay, while I was driving my eg, I noticed that whenever I run over a bump, or those reflector things on the road, somewhere near the wheel of the front driver side makes a sound of a slinky rolling downstairs in every bump I run over. When I step on the brakes, the same side makes a HUGE squeal and when I press harder it becomes a higher pitched squeal. Then when I make a left or right turn from a stoplight, it makes that slinky noise again! Is there something wrong with the power steering and the brakes? If I intend to switch out the brake pads + rotors, which brands do you guys think is the most bang for the buck? (not trying to do brake conversions, just want to replace pads & rotors)

We will wait for the video, thanks for that, but it sounds like your typical bad outer CV joint, here I would change the outer joint, in the USA, I would get a whole axle with warrantee, but lets have a listen on your video first, sounds like you need brakes too.
