Default 2001 S Type Right Front road noise

Hi, I'm new to the forums. I just bought a 2001 S Type with 60,000 miles. The car seems perfect except that there is an excessive amount of road noise from the right front. The noise is noticeable at low and highway speeds. It sort of sounds like a wheel bearing but I don't think this is the case as the noise is the same running straight or turning left or right. There is also a noise at times when slowly turning or hitting the brakes that sounds like a bushing that is not lubed. I know the description is not great. I just don't know where to start looking for the noise source.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check your FCABs.
That's Front Control Arm Bushings for reference.

My s had worn lower ball joints easy to check and change. Other source is the rubber cushioning at top of the spring assembly goes hard etc. After a few fixes mine is quieter but still making noises....Paul
