its your wheel bearing..... i have the same problem unfortunately -_-
how long has this been happening to you? you might considering changing the inner tie rod too, and do the ball joint's since you are changing the wheel bearing. hope this help you man...

So wheel bearing is more then likely the cause? Cause I have the samething. Like whenever the road gets rough that one wheel gets real loud like its about to fall off. Or doing a harder turn aswell.

jack up your car, take your key out of the ignition, and make sure the steering wheel is locked. see how much play the wheel has by shaking it, and if there is alot of play, then it is in fact the wheel bearing. hope that helps.
