To make a long story short, I curbed my car on the R/F side and I tried to have the dealer warranty it. They blamed the tires but they have since been inspected and re-balanced. I get the noise when going straight and on R turns. It's a humming that varies about every second even at a constant highway speed. When I take L curves it goes away. I know most of the time a R wheel bearing will get louder on L turns since the load is increased at the R wheel. Could the symptoms be completely opposite and still be the R side? I have not put it up in the air and checked for play at the wheels yet since I have no access to jackstands and I would rather not have a local shop charge to take a look at it.

 

A right side damaged wheel bearing can cause problems turning right or even with slight adjustments such as a lane change to the right. Just tell the dealer there is play in the wheel and to change the darn wheel bearing out under warranty. I've been through this!

 

Yea, you have a busted bearing. Change it ASAP.

 

I think I went about 6k miles with a broken wheel bearing. I was so used to it that when I got it fixed, felt like I was driving a totally different car. Lol
