    Howling sound??

    My front end is beginning to howl/vibrate (I can distinctly feel it through the floor bloard)--much more noticeable at higher speeds; 60+.
    When I let off the pedal, it makes sort of a 'vvvvvvvvvvv' and my steering wheel begins to shake a bit.
    It's weird though, when I turn to the right, the sound goes away.
    I wanna say it's the right wheel bearing, but when I jacked it up, there was only 1-2 mm of play (enough play to consider swapping out the bearing)?.

    Anybody have guesses to what may cause this?

      Yep, sounds like the wheel bearing.
