2006 sports suspension mcs.

recently developed a squeak / sigh on slow hard turns and sometimes on speed bumps (also slow).

i did a quick capture of it here... what do you think?

Front wheel bearings?

CV joints usually make a clicking noise on turns when they are failing.

thanks for the ideas,

i had a rear bearing go out, and it made a kind of constant low rumble ntil i replaced it.
i was hoping this was more along the lines of a key lube spot or something. guess i'll be taking it in.
