i have a 97 cavalier. it is making a noise in the passenger side front sounds like a flat spot on the tire. it gets worse when u turn to the right. the car tracks straight, doesnt pull to one side, doesnt vibrate or anything. it still handles great just the noise. tires are fine. rotated them to make sure didnt change anything. one person told me it was the strut but i figured a strut would make it vibrate and it would do it no matter which way it was turning. thanks in advance for any help

i HAD A N0ISE LIKE THAT BEFORE AND IF YOUR TIRES ARE OK IT IS PROBABLY THE WHEEL BEARING. JACK UP ONE SIDE OF THE CAR BY THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AT A TIME AND SEE WHICH SIDE IS THE LOUDEST AND IT IS THAT WHEEL BEARING.

i replaced the wheels bearings on both sides and put new rotors on. seems to have fixed everything
