For a while now I have had a noise from the fornt end that sounds like a wheel bearing. It showing classic wheel bearing symptoms, the noise occurs when turning left or when the weight of the car shifts to the right like on an uneven road surface, and I can feel the vibration through the steering wheel. The front steering track rod ends have been replaced both sides, a new sterring column and rack have been fitted and the wheel bearing replaced twice. The noise is still there just the same as before. Is there any other parts that I should be looking at?
Cheers.

I'm going to take it somewhere else to get a second opinion. The garage did say that there is a slight whine from the diff but I thought that would be the same on either lock.
Thanks for the replies.

I had exact the same problem, but it turned out that it was the transfer box making the noise - new box
