jack up front left on level ground ,support and chock rear wheels and set park brake ---look and check the cv axle for leaks,tears or damage -put in neutral and watch axle should turn smoothly turn steering wheel to left and rotate tire again watching axle if their is binding or grinding or studder movement than axle is damaged and needs to be replaced

bad CV joint on the axle. better off buying the whole axle

Tire may be bad or needs an alignment

Best guess sight unseen is feathered tires from poor alignment. Feel the inside edges of the tires by rubbing your hand in both directions. If it feel "choppy" it is you tires causing the noise. Try rotating the tires from front to back to see if the noise changes or goes away. If it does, replace the front tires and have the car aligned.

front drive shafts need replacing

I would suspect the wheel bearing, as these start to fail they tend to make more noise in one direction of load than the other.

It sounds exactly like a wheel bearing problem.The right side its seems would be the problem. When you turn right it puts more pressure on the bad bearing making it louder. I would suggest replacing both. If on is gone the other one isn't far off. Hope this helps

Most likely this a broken CV joint and this means replacing the axle.

It sounds like you are correct. Good luck ,Dan
