Wicked wheel problems

I have a '96 2.2L Sunfire that is just about on it's last legs. There is a wicked sounding vibration or rubbing coming from the front drivers side wheel. It is bad enough when going straight but it gets even worse when turning. I have replaced the bearing in this wheel twice and it has new brakes. Could this be the bearing again? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Wicked wheel problems

Re: Wicked wheel problems

ive put 7 wheel bearing assemblys(3onleft/4onright) on my 98 z24,and they are always installed correctly,they just start to hum/vibrate. i think my problem is that i hav always had oversized aftermarket wheels,and cornering 25mph curves at 95mph dont help either haha.but i also agree with hotbug,maybe check yur axles/cv joints
