Has this just happened since you changed the drive shaft etc? Or have you changed these things in order to sort the problem? Struggled to understand your post like..

Sounds like a wheel bearing if its making the noise only when turning one way but is ok turning the other way? Does it get worse the faster you go?

Can't remember exactly but think the wheel bearing thats fucked is the opposite to what way you're turning so if it's noisy turning right then your left bearing is fucked. But not 100% on that..

I couldn't tell ya for definate but i'd imagine they'd be the same. Then again you'd expect alot of things to be the same but then they make them that slight bit different for no reason whatsoever, pain in the arse.
