hey guys i thought i was haveing tire problems but after 3 diferent tires on the front of my camaro i guess i x'ed of a tire problem. i talked to a few buddys around town{one owns a suspention and alignment shop and the other one is the service mgr at a gm dealership} and both of them said its not the rotors and they bothare going toward a bad wheel bearing/hub asembly. i got the front end up on jack stands and moved the wheel back and fourth at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and the wheel dident seem to move but maybe it takes more force then i can put on it. and the vibration is there going straight and turning to the left like going 70-80 mph on the hwy but it goes away when i fallow the road to the right so if it is a wheel bearing what side would it be? im guessing the right/passenger side? since the weight of the car is on the drivers side when going right.
please help guys its realy bothering me and in scared some thing might happen when i driveing the car on the hwy. the bearing/hub is like a $100 from the parts store.oh and the body of the car has around a 100k on it.
let me knkow guys so i can get to work on it.

Have you checked the condition of your lower control arm bushings, especially the rear, vertical one?

I have the same EXACT problem. Vibration when wheel is to the left but not to the right. We think its the wheel bearing also but don't know what side. I guess we'll just take right turns to get everywhere! Sucks though that the hubs are sealed . On the Tahoe I used to have the wheel hub assembly was over $200 from AutoZone

Hopefully you find the problem and help us all out

well if it stops vibrateing when you turn right it should be the right side since the weight is more on the left side of the car.
