lumping wheel problem well i dont know what the hell is wrong with my car and i took it to three shops nobody knew what to say. one guy blamed it on the exhaust hitting the crossmember 
so they fixed that and anyway I still have the problem.
it feels like a lumping and im not sure if its the rear or front. its a rotational problem. it is also causing very shitty handling characteristics. takes way more effort to make a corner. turning left is a little easier but if i turn right i notice it. I think it might be up at the right front wheel. all tires were rebalanced and remounted. still having the problem. possibly a suspension problem. but im lost and have no clue. ideas? really pissing me off i almost want to sell the car

well ive taken it to some more places, the tires are fine, no belt problems, wheel bearings are fine. checked the whole suspension.. its fine.. the guy at the firestone said i had a hub problem on one of the wheels.. it was slightly ... uneven or some word he used... he said when they were balancing it, it wasnt perfectly flat.. but then why did i still have the problem when i put all the stock wheels back on ? gawd this is so confusing and irritating.

You probably did this already... rotate the tires/wheels?
I suppose it could be an alignment issue.
But everything you're saying... rotational & difference in right/left turning... is telling me wheel bearing or bad tire.

yeah the tires were remounted and rebalanced twice already. insides inspected as well. cant rotate them though because they are all directional and the rear sets diff than the fronts.. im lost. on my way home earlier cop followed me about half a mile, it was a struggle keeping the damn car straight ! lol i thought he was gonna pull me over for being drunk or something.
