Anyone with similar issues? I'm stumped.

I own a 2003 Tahoe Z71. A noise has developed over the past week in the front end. I have sat in both the driver seat and passenger seat and have come to the conclusion that the noise is coming from the left side. This seems odd to me because it seems to get worse as I turn left. It is rubbing/clunking sound. The sound is directly related to the speed of the vehicle. I changed the wheel bearing and it still makes the same noise. The CV seems to be tight on both sides of the vehicle. My next step was going to be CV replacement. I hate throwing parts at something if I don't know its the problem. Any ideas?

Jack the vehicle up and spin the driver side wheel and see if you can hear any noise coming from the cv shaft and see if there is any movement in the wheel in any direction if there is, up down motion is ball joints, left right motion is steering components, and both directions is a wheel bearing. The cv shaft would be the only thing I can think of on the left side that would get louder on left hand corners though. Wheel bearings would get louder on opposite direciton corners.
