Noise in front right wheel

[GatorGT3]

I own a 1986 Carrera which has 139k miles on body. I have replaced brakes, suspension compnents, and steering rack. Just the other day I heard (and felt) a vibration and/or squalling noise at vey low speed and only when I turn the wheel slightly to the left. My suspecion is that mt wheel bearings need attention. Any thoughts?

"...replaced brakes..."

Check for stuck brake caliper piston first, piston is now operating in a new "region".

Caliper stuck on rotor will produce heat that you can feel after a drive.

Did you bed the brake pads?

Tie rod ends replaced with suspension? Jack up wheel and check for free play.

You are right to suspect bearings, especially if they have not been replaced or repacked after 139k.

You sure it is from front? Similar symptom from failing CV joint when turning and accelerating.

Brakes, shocks, turbo tie rods, steering rack replaced at 130k. Suspension bushings replaced at 135K. Never touched the bearings. Noise is there without acceleration. How hard is it to replace bearings yourself? I did everything except the bushings myself without problems (probably took 5x longer than a porsche mechanic). thanks for the input.

You are describing, perfectly, the symptoms I experienced in my '78 Targa with the caliper piston stuck, just barely stuck so it really only made noise when turning.
