the ss dog bone joint will give you those symptoms, sounds terrible when they flog out.

Plenty left in the pads on drivers side, haven't looked at passenger side pads. Rotors look fine, not a major lip on the edge or anything.

Checked it tonight by doing a 'wheel bearing check' like sergei suggested and found significant play on the front passenger side (even though I was sure the sound was drivers side). There isn't any wheelbearing noise btw, the play makes the whole strut move, but if I grab the spring I can't make it move.
Is there a way I can tell if its the dog bone/fig8 joint without taking it to bits since its our daily for work? Is it possible its another bush or are these symptoms pointing right at worn dog bone joint?
