front wheel bearing

My front end is making grinding noises when I drive straight and turn right. It stopps when I turn left.

Which bearing is it?

Thanks

Re: front wheel bearing

For me it was the Driver's Side. Reasoning here is that more weight is being placed on that bearing when turning right.

Re: front wheel bearing

It doesn't matter which one it is, you will need to change both of them at the same time. This is true of all suspension parts. I changed my front bearings about six months ago and they definitely help quiet the noise. Good Luck!
