Wow - I thought I was the only one to type away a mile a minute! Guess not. If you mean me Tom, LOL I had a good teacher. I only had a 5 word vocabulary until i started reading your lengthy commentaries
I'm bored ,with the lockdown, Sorry. Today starts phase 3 of the Reopening here. Even though we continue to hit new high numbers daily with deaths and new cases.

His though was the LH front bearing and the cheapest place to start. And of course replace the brake lines this time round anyway.
Agreed, based on what you've said, seems a logical place to start at the left front
Hoses are always a good idea to replace, especially with age.
There is no evidence based on your description of faulty hoses, but its worth it.
Are you familiar with "Occams Razor" and "Hickums Dictum"
Occams Razor clearly applies here.

Here is a thought: Although it's not common. I have found several bearing type noises coming from CV axles that were worn inside where the trunions contact the outer "Cup" or housing. They are generally hard to diagnose. I have had success jacking up the vehicle under the lower control arm on one side of the vehicle and "Driving" it while listening for the sound, then jacking up the other side and listening for the sound with that wheel raised and the other one on the ground. This helps to find which side of the vehicle the sound is coming from. Be very careful if you do this. Chock the rear tires and use the parking brake to keep the car from moving forward. Also, be prepared to use the brake if anything unexpected happens. Safety first.

I would think that jacking up one wheel like that the spider gears would be so loud they would overwhelm any bearing noise.

Still haven't found the smoking gun but will start by changing the LH front wheel bearing to a well lnown brand (SKF).
I'll also have the brake hoses changed. They are not the cause of the noise but possibly the hanging brakes.
