The first time I heard the noise was two years ago, I was driving on the highway with bald rear tires and then it started to rain, I lost control of the car and slid down the highway a good 1/4 mile, with my foot on the brakes, sliding to the left sliding in to my turn, the car finally went off the road I heard a big bang when my left wheel hit the grit....grit on the side of the road the car then hit dirt and came to stop "Thank God" because I was heading towards a gully.
after getting back on the road by help of a Samaritan I then heard the noise, at first I thought it was my tires having flat spot from sliding, so I rotate my wheels still the same, I installed camber arms,I had my tires replaced balanced and an alignment DONE still the same
A mechanic from the dealership says it could be the wheel bearing , but my question is why is it not constant?
Why only when you make right turns at 45MPH and up?
Thanks guy's for all your help and inputs
It was my driver side wheel bearing
I bought a Autopart International wheel bearing hub Assembly on eBay for $72.60 shipped
I put 70 lbs/ft on the four bolts that holds the hub and 111 lbs/ft on the two main bolts that holds the caliper, THERE IS NO MORE NOISE OR VIBRATION, driving on...

usually when one bearing goes out,the other side will follow soon after. I had the same issue months ago,went ahead and replaced both front wheel hubs.
