Re: bad vibration.

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

It's probably your wheel bearing if when you are driving, and you turn one way (putting
stress on the wheel bearing), it gets louder, and when you turn the other way, it gets
quieter. You say that when you turn right it gets louder... when you turn left, does it
get quieter? If it gets louder when you turn left, too, then it's probably not your wheel
bearing and is probably an outer CV joint. If it gets quieter or stays the same when you
turn left, then it's probably your front left wheel bearing.
    Good luck!
