on a sweeping left turn, there is a noticeable noise coming from the bus- is that the left bearing inner/outer making that sound?

Hey Blatz. Have you jacked it up to see What's happening in there?

is it coming from the front?

Jack it and wiggle the wheel. Loose?

Pop it open and take a look.

You might just get a set of bearings for when you do take a look. If it is just an adjustment issue packem away for future use.

it comes with the steering wheel, when i turn left it gets louder, straight you can kind of hear it and right it more or less goes away, so i repacked the front left inner outer bearings (they seemed in ok shape) and the noise is still there- have to check the rear ones next and the other front one too, for that matter!

If you are turning LEFT, then it is the OUTER left bearing and the INNER right bearing that are taking the load.
