2019 front wheel bearing

[Bossdog]

I have a Kathunk-Kathunk-Kathunk noise in my front Passenger wheel. I starts after the wheel gets warm/hot and only when turning left, shifting weight to the front passenger tire. If I drive the local round-abouts (aggressively) for 4 to 6 loops, it shows up. At highway speed, driving straight, I don't hear the Kathunk.
10,000 miles on the odometer.

Last season I did 4 track days at -2.7 camber with 285 Proxy R888R's
This season I went to -3.2 and got about 6 secessions and the Kathunk showed up
My street tires are the Stock PP2 10.5 x 11 with 305's

I am assuming this is a wheel Bearing? Any thoughts on what else might be causing this?

Interestingly, when I search this topic for video's everything I see shows an axel nut on the front. When I look at my Bearing, on the car and on line to purchase, its a different bearing, no axel nut. It looks to bolt onto the hub with 4 bolts from the back. is this a Performance pack thing or a 2018+ thing?

Got it, thanks, That is helpful, I did not know that.

Wheel bearing is extremely easy to diagnose - jack the car up and pull on the wheel.

Here's video I posted a while ago :

I'd look at sway bar links first - they get loose at either bolted joint or if adjustable, at the body (or all of them).

That sound is unlikely to be a wheel bearing IMO.

(and yes - those hubs were Magride specific, also the design has changed a bit in newer cars (Mach1 and newer GT PPs) and they have the matching knuckle. There's a write up about it on Opmustang's page.

Mine went bad early on. I was lucky to find it before any symptoms developed. I was rotating the tires and I noticed there was a little bit of play in the front left. It was a bad hub.
