I recently started to hear some noise coming from my car, is a toyota 2007 yaris and I started hearing this noise on the front left wheelafter going to visit a family member. (Video attached) i was in a rush so I had to go in the highway and the noise suddenly stopped. Before arriving home I realized the noise only happens when driving, reversing slow and when making turns. If I drive medium-high speed there would be noise. Here are some pictures of the noise on the left side of the wheel and some pictures. First one right wheel, second pic left wheel

My best guess is the strut mount (the upper part of the strut/spring assembly with the threaded bolts you can see in the engine bay) is bad. But the pictures and video are not enough to make a good enough guess.

I think it's a ball joint or a bearing. It needs to be replaced right away, or it could be bad for the car and for you. Because if it is a ball bearing, the wheel can go ahead of you.
