    wheel bearin diagnosis

    when turning right above 40 mph I'm hearing a slight grinding/rubbing noise as well as pretty hefty steering wheel shake, but when I straighten it out or turn left it goes away...is this a front driver side wheel bearing? I just noticed the front wheels were missing weights and I can't recall if there were ever any on it b/c my dad had the tires changed for me... any suggestions?

    i would say that its the front drivers side, but replace both at the same time. you can jack up each wheel and by spinning it hear the bad bearing grinding.
