Squeak evolving into clunk

Do you guys have any idea what would be the problem if my left front whell was squeaking as it turned and now it is making a clunking sound that increases and slows down with the speed of the wheel turning. It feels really bad at slow speeds. Axle, ect...?

since it's the left front i doubt it's the axle, which is in the rear. my guess would be a control arm bushing, strut, or strut bearing. why don't you take a look around and see if you notice anything wrong, or missing, like the bushing.

Wheel spinning, not steering turning, sounds like inner or outer wheel bearing.

i would definitely look at any suspension pieces going to that front left area... also check the wheel bearings and brakes.

could be something lose. broken, binding...
