I barely feel it on the steering wheel though, surprisingly.

Would it be possible to get this noise on a video? If it's a bearing, we could tell you right away.

I changed a noisy wheel bearing on my sister's car, and it didn't make any noise when spun with the wheel off.

You need usually need a load on the bearing to make a noise

yep if its just starting to go its not easy to tell. mine was overheated on one side by a sticky caliper so i checked it and it turned easier then the other side so i changed it. figured the grease got cooked out of it. the other side has a smooth constant turn that took a little effort to turn.

take the wheel and caliper off and bolt down the rotor then shake that side to side up and down there should be NO play

Thanks for the help guys. It's impossible to get a soundclip of it. The road noise overpowers it on the videos. I have noticed the right side caliper is leaking a little brake fluid. Can that be it? When I jack up both cars and spin the front wheels. The left one will complete over 5 rotations, but the right side will do 3 and less and stop. I really can't tell if it's the brake pads still contacting or if its the wheel bearing.

brake pads make a constant noise unless the rotors warped either way by your description i dont think its the brakes try what i said earlier it works
