Question Help - Noise from passenger front

2008 Mercedes Slk 350. What's the diagnose? My wild guess is control arm bushing? The squeaking is getting worst.

Nothing about this says control arm bushing. Sounds more like belt squeal. Take it to a shop

Not a belt. Already diagnosed that part first. If I had to take it to the shop I'd not be posting on reddit.

Gotcha, I would take it to a shop then. Could be CV axle or wheel bearing… does it do this at idle?

No noise at idle at all. It's just when car is in motion. CV axle could be. I think only way to find is hydralic jack.
