Noise when Turing right at speed

Hi, first post on this forum so firstly, hello everyone, I've recently bought my first freelander 2 after replacing my venerable old freelander 1. So far it's been one of my better purchases but it does have a few niggles!

When driving over 65 you can hear a wub wub type of noise that increases in volume when you steer slightly right and quietens down when you steer opposite coupled with a matching bit of vibration. My first thought was Driveshaft but I thought I'd better put it to more experienced owners for some advise

Anything else I should be checking for? I've heard rear diffs can be problemmatic on these but the noise isn't easy to place. It appears to be from the front.

Throwing a car from side to side and noise coming and going is usually a wheel bearing. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Throwing it to the right at speed will load up the left wheel bearings so thatโ€™s where I would be looking. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Going to be jacking it up tonight for a closer look. Below 65 it's quiet as a mouse. That's what's been puzzling me.

Funnily enough, I have this exact same problem from the rear and, due to the increased noise on turning, diagnosed the rear RH wheel bearing which I then changed. However, although the noise on turning has reduced, I still have the wub wub noise and vibration at a speed around 55 mph from the rear. Because I already have one of Austen@Bell's rear diffs, which I fitted only 8,000 or so miles back, I am now beginning to think rear drive shaft or propshaft bearing. I'm pretty sure its not tyre noise as you can hear the noise much more clearly on very smooth tarmac and Ive also swapped each side with my spare.

The moral of the story is that you may have 2 or more problems each with its own noise which lead to a particular diagnosis which may not solve all your problems ! I guess that's why garages use 'Chassis Ears'. FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green
