Left front wheel

Out of my front left wheel there is a ticking sound... It's not the brakes, which are basically brand new... It's only there when the car is moving, and it goes away when I make sharp left turns.. Someone said to pack the hub with grease, but I don't think that's possible with a 1995 sc2.. does anyone have any suggestions of what the problem could be?

I had a similar problem on my 88 chevy truck and it ended up being the wheel hub cap wa falling off and was rolling around inside the center cap of the rim. I don't know if your car has aftermarket rims or even a wheel hub cap. It could also be the castle nut pin hitting the inside of the rotor.

I have rims... and what puzzles me is that that wheel was involved in an accident which resulted in a new fender and door and a replacement hub was needed. I also badly need a wheel alignment, but I'm waiting because I'm getting new rims and tires at the end of the month if that could have something to do with it?

check out this chart, see if anything lines up - http://www.saturnfans.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/15886/
try rotating the tires and see if the nosie moves with the wheel.
the bearing can not be repacked
after the accdent, they replaced the hub but not the wheel bearing right?
right now to me it sounds like the wheel bearing, but may be the CV joint; wheels and alignment tend to display as vibration problems, not noises.
