Noise from front left

Hi all. Just thought I'd ask if anyone's had a similar issue to what I'm having now. During deceleration while turning(both directions, but most noticeably left) I get what sounds similar to a CV. Goes away when you get back on the accelerator. The sound is like a rub. I'm thinking the left front wheel bearing maybe on its way out. Any other thoughts worth looking at?

After a bit of investigation I belive the noise is brake related. Theres a bit of an unusual disk runout - like the rotor hadnt been mounted flat against the hub. I'll whack some new rotors and pads on soon and see how it goes

Would a rotor not mounted flat against the hub result in steering wobbles similar to a wheel balancing issue?
A properly hub mounted rotor but with a warp in it might cause the rubbing sound and the disk runout you have noticed.
Also have you checked that the calliper assembly securing bolts are tight ?

Just waiting on new rotors to arrive so should get into it in the next couple of days. I'll be going through the front end to make sure this bloody noise dosent return

Well new front rotors and pads, noise is still there. Next step is replacing the front wheel bearings

Now that I've finished my wheel bearing replacement job I can now confirm it was the front left wheel bearing. Good to have the V40 back on the road after a week of waiting for parts
