May be the front left wheelbearing then.

Jack up the front left corner. Grab the wheel at the 12 and 6 oclock positions and rock in and out to feel for free play. repeat at the 3 and 9 position. Get an assistant to depress the footbrake then redoo the test with the footbrake applied. If the free play disappears its the wheel bearing. If its the same, points to a suspension bush problem.

Theres a howtoo on here for replacing the wheel bearing but be warned. Hub nut is chuffin tight......
