Why is car vibrating loud and hard when I turn the wheel towards the right?

I put new wheel bearings, balanced tires, brakes are good, tires are good. Alignment is perfect. It does this loud grumble/hard heavy vibrate shudder type thing only when turning the wheel towards the right. If im riding a straight line and turn the wheel a half inch towards the right, it does it and as soon as I turn the wheel back a half inch to straight it will stop right away. If i turn right from a stop sign or something, it does this grumble hard and loud all the way until I turn the wheel straight or to left. And In punch it starts right before its about to go into 2nd or drive but if I dont punchh it, I can still hear it but not as bad. I can do it on command just by easing the wheel to the right and back to center anytime I'm going down a straight road. This is weird. Ive done a lot of car work, suspension work and things but this one is perplexing. Thank!

Sounds like its the wheel bearing assembly on one of the left hand side wheels recheck that there is no play on those wheels when jacked up off the ground and spin both wheels by hand .......your sure to feel a roughness on the problem wheel on fast rotation by hand

SOURCE: Vibration/Humming/Grinding noises when stopping or turning left.

when turning left vehicle distributes weight to right front wheel bearing causing load. since u describe a noise in right front while driving straight i would suspect failed right front wheel bearing. see if your noise changes/goes away while turning right that should tell u 4 sure

SOURCE: while driving 70mph on xway,

hi 5this could be a couple of things, first one to look at is the tyre itself, is there any deformation in the wall of the tyre, or on the face of the tyre, other thing it could be, bottom suspension strut ball joint, to test, jack car up on one side, grab top and bottom of wheel, then push and pull in opposite directions like you are trying to shake the wheel, this will give you an indication if something is worn or loose, also this will tell you if the wheel bearing is u/s at the same time, do the same as above then spin the wheel if it feels a bit graunchy then the wheel bearing may also be u/s but you would hear a droning noise as you drive it but worth a check all the same....hope this helps

SOURCE: steering creeks when turning left or right. front wheel noise.

My advise is when u get a humming noise when banking left or right. Its beter to change both left and right wheel bearing and ball joints. Cause if u think about it those parts are put on at the same time . So if u think about it they have the same where in Terre . left or right hope this helps you.

Help!! I'm out of ideas. Loud hum that gets louder as it goes faster and then vibrates at 70mph. 2004 LeSabre, replaced hub/bearings, new tires with balance and then re-balanced. Everything else looks...

Sorry to tell you this sounds like a wheel bearing is bad period were they used parts? if not have the shop replace them. Many new parts are NOT to standards today.

Rotated & balanced tires. new driveshaft & center carrier bearing u-joints new shocks front & rear replaced rear axle bearings and seals new left rear rotor parking brake shoes new disc brake...

You will need to check things logically. Run the truck in the air and note where the vibration is at. Take the wheels OFF and put a few lug nuts to hold the rotors on, take the truck to 45mph or whatever the vibration is the worst. is it still there? if its gone, check wheels/ tires. if its still there, check rotors, axles. A drive shaft will make a rapid vibration at low speeds since it turns 3 to 4 times faster than the wheels. does it vibrate on or off the gas? Can you power through the vibration like go 60 and then coast back through? You have replaced a lot of parts that would not cause vibrations. Are you just changing parts willy nilly or is someone actually checking and verifying that these parts really bad?

I have 1998 Mercury Sable DOC. I have some vibrating in the front end, I have had bearings, ball joints, brake pads, rotors, calipers, tie rod ends replaced and the vehicle still shakes. I notice it more...

OK, I would change the tires if I had vibrating in the front end after all of that work.

Have the wheels/tires spin balanced in the front and have the tire tech check for out of roundness as it spins on the electronic balancer.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tires were out of round.

I usually recommend Goodyear or Michelin tires with an A traction and A or B Temperature rating and a long treadlife warranty (60,000 mi. or above) to get a rock solid feel in the front end at all speeds.

I just solved such a problem on my 1997 Cadillac Deville Limousine which had used Goodyear Integrity tires and replaced them with new Goodyear Assurance Tires which solved a front end and general body vibration at highway speeds.

Good luck on getting new tires for your vehicle, and hope the shakiness goes away!

WHY DOES MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE SIDE VIBRATE ON MY 2004 YUKON

Tire vibration can be caused by a few things. Here's what to check:
1. Check the tire inflation. Make sure it's at the recommended pressure.
2. Have a local tire shop check your tire balance. If a tire is out of balance you'll notice the vibration at speeds above 50mph.
3.Wheel alignment. If the alignment is out, the tire will show uneven wear and can cause vibration also.
4. If a front wheel bearing is going out, it can cause vibration, but since your car is only 5-6 years old, this probably isn't the case.
Hope this helps you narrow it down.
Best of success!

Loud noise at higher speeds from front left wheel on a Volkswagen polo 1997 new tires aligned and balanced. Steering wheel doesn't vibrate excessively...not for as much noise it is making.

Bad wheel bearings are a likely cause. These are easy enough to replace if you work on your own car. They also are rather inexpensive.

Vibration when I'm going at high speeds

you might want to have tires checked and see if 1) the balance is good on the tires. 2) the rims are not bent. 3) the tires are in good shape and dont have a busted belt internally in the tire.

also might want to check out the wheel bearings. the tires is most likely your issue. hope that helps.

Vibration

It sounds like a possible bad front wheel bearing they will make like a humming or growling noise.The pull could be air pressure a little lower in the right front tire than the left front check the air in all tires and if pull is still there take the left front put it on the right front and put the right front tire on the left front.Sometimes tires get what they call radial pull and that will fix it or make it go the other way if it goes the other way either get new tires or put the back tires on the front of the vehicle and put the front tires on the back.
