Default One odd problem!!

Ok so heres my problem, my car has a vibration in, what feels like the front suspension, the wheel and it rattles the pedals. The weird part about it is the vibration is only there when the wheel is turned to the right.

The vibration is not there when the wheel is even slightly to the left. The vibration starts at about 35-40 and get gradually worse the faster I go.

I checked the tire rods, sway bar end links, balance the wheels, brakes, etc so Idk where to go from here.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Carefully inspect the wheel bearing assemblies.

Also check your LCA bushings, these can cause a vibration if going bad

it's the wheel bearing/hub assembly. it's a sealed unit, nothing to inspect or pull apart you just replace the whole thing. it's rather easy. replace both front wheel hub assemblies and then get a front end alignment, because if one is bad then the other is most likely just as bad. don't buy the economy made in china ones that are like $49 each because they'll last a year then you'll be having the same problem. go with timken, national/moog, or skf.

the autozone duralast are the timken made in usa hubs and are the best buy

GOOD info
"vibration is only there when the wheel is turned to the right."
I would think the problem would be the LEFT bearing/hub acc.
As suggested I would change both if I had money for both if not change Left side
