I do not suspect the spider bearings because the noise we heard on the left side only is also present during straight-line driving.
Careful here . . . nobody is indicting the spider gears. I am only stating that the spider gears can raise a private wholly irrelevant ruckus if the differential is working overtime with one wheel spinning. So, the noise that was heard in straight line driving can still be one of the two options entertained here:
tires
axle bearings
Normally I can hear bad bearings load up on a swerve and quiet down on the reverse swerve. Usually, I suggest rotating or changing out the tires to see if the noise is less. Or we could stick in new high quality bearings, why not?
