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......
