Default 08 Q7 Tire Noise only on Right turns

2008 Q7 is smooth ( no steering wheel shake) going straight down the highway or turning to the left, but when you turn it to the right everything is still smooth, but the right front tire starts making lots of noise.

alignment done.. everything in spec.
new Blizaks on Q7. 20" tires ( I even rotated them)
Made the same noise in the summer with summer only tires on, and the outer edge of the tire wore off pretty good (typical)
I put it up in the air and everything is tight, cant' feel any wheel bearing play.
Both sides has about 1/8" up and down movement in lower ball joints

Could it be the right side drive shaft? wheel bearing?
140,000 miles
Still noisy

Thanks in advance,
Greg

Update!!!

When turning to the right , weight is transferd to the left front, thus putting a load on the left front, I changed the left front wheel bearing.

All Quiet!!
