Question G35 help Please

I bought a 2005 g35 coupe with 63,000 miles for $12,900 and I went to the alignment shop and the said my camber is a little negative on my right front but it is nothing to worry about. So I hear a humming noise from the front right and I believe it's a wheel bearing. Also when I am drive and I hit the reflectors on the highway I feel my car pulling like the alignment is off again any ideas?
Another thing is my car's axels click when I put it in drive only once. I heard that the axels need to be greased. But where do I get the grease? Autozone?

Also on the back of my passenger seat there is a little button that normal makes the seat move back and forward stopped working any ideas?

And my mom has the same excact car as me and hers has oil leak the only thing I saw wrong was the dip stick fitting near the top of the stick has a tear. Could that make her car leak?

As for the wheel bearing...it's hard to tell sometimes if it's the wheel bearing or the tires. The best thing to do is to swap the wheels back to front, left to right, even with staggered or directional tires and see if the the noise shifts...if not, more likely it's the bearings.

Dont even need to do that. Just jack your car up and wiggle the wheel. If theres play you have a bad bearing. Should sound like an air tunnel the worse it gets.

Oil leak how? The dipstick shouldnt be leaking any amount that you would notice. These cars eat oil and have oil consumtion issues. Depending on the year she may have oil pooling up in the sparkplugs or the consumption issue.

If your car is still under warranty they will grease your axles for free. If not theres a diy on the site near the technical part.

The button are you talking about on the passenger side is more like a lever is lose or the wire is fraying.

^ yeah but sometimes bad wheel bearings don't display any wiggle but still makes that whurling/wind-tunnel noise.

You would hear a bearing at most speeds though not just the highway. The one test im talking about is the easiest and if its a bad bearing it will be prevalent.
