SOURCE: front suspension noises, bad new struts?
It sounds like the mechanic may have left the upper strut nut a bit loose, you may want to ask him to check it, but be nice, Toyota had some problems with upper strut mounts. These are on the top of the strut, they hold them to the body of the car. Unfortunately you have to remove and disassemble the struts to replace them. You could try asking your mechanic to just replace the one side and try it. I'm pretty sure that's your problem and he may give you a break since he's done all the other work. There is also a bulletin on a rattle from the side view mirror, but I think since this just started with the strut job, the mount is your most likely cause.

If the wheel is in balance and there is no other signs of what is causing the vibration than yes that cv joint should be chk. Is the strut ok? might want to chk. that too.

It's the left front wheel bearing. Take it to your favorite mechanic if you have one, any good tech can do it, but he/she could run into complications with a car of that age. (The hip bone's connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bone's connected to the knee bone, etc, and there's probably a good share of corrosion down there).

Do you hear the sound on a sharper sharp front, then stop, sharper reverse speed on a smooth road? Mine VW Jetta 84 does it, and it is caused by loose bolts (old rusty nuts can't tight), so that the whole front beam is loose. Hardly could be this on a 5-year car, but I have heard worse things for even newer, just the quality nowadays... If this is the reason, it is extremely dangerous, don't go past 50-60 km/h until you know the reason.
