Wheel bearings, CV joints or something else?

[AntiDote]

My car's front offside wheel is making a rubbing noise which increases with speed.

 

It's similar to the 'thumping' noise a flat tyre would make. When I turn right, the noise is almost eliminated but turning left or driving straight makes it pretty noticeable. If at around 60mph I hit my brakes the car pulls to the right slightly then straightens back up.

 

I recently replaced the brake pads and disks but this made no difference.

 

Over the last few days it feels as if the steering is a little looser although I could just be imagining that. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Could be a CV joint, tracking rod end, or lower arm?

 

when were they last replaced?

 

Or a my money in on a buckled wheel - or unbalanced wheel

 

I'd take it to a local garage unless you are mechanically minded
