I’d love to know how to inspect it properly when jacking up the wheel and then checking the wheel bearing for play.
On Irish and Uk roads the left front wheel bearing always goes first as the majority of pot holes are beside the ditches and grass at the edge of our terrible roads
My only thought that it may be connected to the brakes is that yeah are so heavy

If it only happens over bumps then it could be the front strut upper mount. There’s a bearing that can go bad with mileage or due to a severe impact. You could start by having someone listen to the mounts at the center of the strut towers with the hood open to see if they hear any noise while you turn the steering wheel. It’s not easy to simulate the impact because the unsprung mass is ~100 lbm give or take so it’s hard to shake the assembly up and down. Does it make the noise when you apply and/or release the brakes?
