Hey...

Car: 2000 sunfire, 2.2L 5spd. 86000kms.

Sympton:
Ok so my car is experiencing vibration and what sounds like something is rubbing, such as the tire on the plastic wheel liners. But, it ONLY happens when turning right. When doing city driving it is only noticable when turning right at almost full lock, but when on the highway moving at high speed, the slightest angle change of the steering wheel towards the right, even 1 degree, and the noise/vibration occours. Feels like resistance, vibration gets stronger when speed increases.

Diagnosis:
New tires all around, brand new front pads/rotors, drums/shoes. New control arm bushings, alignment was done recently and the car drives straight.

My assumption at first was a wheel bearing since it only happened when turning right and not turning left so when turning the weight transfers to one side of the wheel putting more load on the bearing. But, at highspeeds even just the slightest touch of the steering wheel to the right and the vibration/rubbing/feeling/humming noise starts.

Is it a wheel bearing? If so what one would it be if it happens when turning right, its usually the opposite side one correct? I am aware the bearing comes as a hub assembly, I already looked at parts/prices.

Thank you for any help!!

Have you inspected youre CV joints?. My frist guess would be wheel bearings as well & even over time really worn wheel bearings gets grind alot more, Any movement in the engine compartment?.

Good Luck

Keep us updated.

What should I be looking for when inspecting cv joints?
