Left front "moan"

I know this has been hashed and re-hashed. Under slow speed, fairly hard right turn, I get a noise in the left front.

The whole front suspension was recently off the car for a refurbish, and there was no noise before that. According to a receipt from the PO, wheel bearings are fairly new.

So, I know a hanging brake caliper is possible. They were off the car for about 2 mos. Should have rebuilt them, but time constraints. Would they actually make noise turning, not on the brake? I have to check if the noise stops if I actually step on the brake (it's sporadic, so I didn't catch it).

Next question, would the nut against the thrust washer being either too loose (don't think that's the case) or too tight cause such a noise?

I also hear a similar, very brief noise at times when I just start to apply brake pressure. That similar noise sounds closer to the mater cylinder. Maybe it just sounds that way. Air in the lines maybe?

Thanks!!

Todd
