Default Wheel bearing or Cv joint?

Hey guys thanks for looking. I've got a a4 1.9 07.
Yesterday when I got in I for the first time noticed a clicking noice from the front right wheel, it was only happening when I turn so I though it was the cv joint. When I got back in the car this morning after about a 20 minute drive last night. It's how making a heavy clicking noice like its the bearing, its happening even in a straight line. But doesn't happen when I accelerate? It's definitely on that wheel though and is related to speed as well.

Thanks guys
Tom

Doubtful that it's a wheel bearing. If a wheel bearing made a noise that you could hear it would disintegrate pretty quickly. Bearings will usually whine not click or grind.

My bet is a CV joint. Get under the car and have a look at the CV joint boots to see if one is split.

+1 on CV joint as the most likely cause
