Hard to tell from the "remote". A good sign for steering head bearings
is, when you drive at low speed and suddenly break hard it makes
"knack". 
If it's from the steering head bearing and you are a lucky guy, the
bearing just needs retension. Be carefull, driving with wrong tension
will shure damage the bearing, changing this, is lot of work...
