Default worn wheel bearing?

when I do long turns to the right, like on the highway for example the passenger rear tire starts to shake like it's wobbling, at least thats what it feels like in the car. turning to the left no such shake. my assumption is turning to the right creates a pulling effect if you will and makes whatever issue I have apparent.

does this symptom sound like something is simple as worn wheel bearings in the axle?

Bad bearings always make noise, especially if they are bad enough to let the tire wobble around like you are saying.

You might check the LCA and PHB bushings. Bad LCA bushings will make the whole rear axle assembly wobble forward and backward.

Bad PHB bushings will make it move side to side.

thanks for the tip. they aren't making noise so I will look at the lca and phb as you suggest.
