wheel bearing
I have had a wobble coming from the drivers front side. It is not the tire because I had that inspected and he said it might be a wheel bearing. When I drive straight I hear and feel the wobble. But when I turn to the right a bit it goes away and sounds normal. First off does everyone agree that this is a wheel bearing? And how hard is this to replace?

You just replace the whole hub assy. Its 4 bolts after you take off the brake caliper and pads. Jack the car up and listen to the hub when you spin the wheel by hand. Then grab it and see if it has a lot of play

I bought these

They also sell singles. I have had mine for a few months and they seem good. I have bought other things from them and they have always worked good. I dont dd or race mine right now so I don't know about longevity.

I think you also need to remove the wheel speed sensor before you pull the hub. If you don't do that first on most cars you break the sensor. Can't remember on this car, It's been too long. The sensor on an infinity fx35 costs like $250...I'll never make that mistake again.

Check the wheel hub assembly for play.
Also check the outer and inner tie rod, if there is play ther it will cause this wobble.
@ rabidweasel, the abs sensor is part of the hub , just disconnect the wire is all you do.
