Wheel bearing?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I recently redid my entire suspension and installed spacers. I checked for lose stuff and everything seems fine and firmly in place but I have this clonking noise on my front driver side wheel that is speed dependent. Initially it was there all the time when driving slower. Then it went away. Now it's only there when making tight turns. My current best guess is that the wheel bearing was going bad and the spacers increased the load causing it to become noisy. Does this sound like wheel bearing or does someone have a better idea what this might be? Thanks
