Latest test as you described: https://youtube.com/shorts/erfu-yqPLgQ?feature=shared

I’m not sure how freely it should spin but I don’t hear a lot of noise from it. Clearly some rubbing but nothing rattling etc. apologies there’s obvs some noise from me pushing the wheel.

Really appreciate your help here!

Hard to tell from the video, to me it sounds like the pads touching the disc and nothing else.
What about the ball joints? Did you test them?
If they are ok my bet is still on the wheel bearings and you’ll need to pull it apart to inspect.
The duck in my front hub also went quiet after driving for a few minutes.

I’ll try the ball joints and saw elsewhere that someone had an issue with loose shock turrets… so when i jack it up again I’ll do both. Thanks

I had a similar noise coming from the front of my Honda CRV, it proved to be a pebble wedged between the brake shield and the disc and was grating on the disc…..just a thought. 2012 90SW - 2.2TDCI

Thanks - I’ll add that to the checklist… so far:
1. Check shock turrets are secure
2. Check steering ball joint movement with steering wheel wiggling
3. Check for anything trapped behind brake shield

I was out this evening and now have knocking in the driver’s footwell to add to the list. Had it for a little while but it’s got much more pronounced. Not obviously correlated with steering or bumps in the road. Has happened both when steering round a corner, reversing down a hill and when coming off the accelerator on flat. Not at the same time as the rumbling/grinding from the front right…
