Driver side control all the windows, are you sour you got the right part. Before you put everything back, test the window first.

If the noise indeed does get louder when turning right, I would suspect the leftside hub.

most likely a front hub [wheel bearing ]going bad but jack up front side that is causing problem and try to move tire in and out with hands at top and bottom of tire and listen and feel for noise or excess movement it to much movement remove tire an check the upper and lower ball joints as well as the shock/strut but check brakes grinding can also mean pads are metal to rotor but usually grinding and thumping is related to a bad hub

Sounds like you might have a bad wheel bearing.

Grinding on acceleration, rhythmic thump on the highway... might be a bad u-joint in a CV shaft or rear drive shaft. Put the transmission in neutral, put blocks in front of the front wheels jack up the back end of the vehicle and put jackstands under the frame (do not rely on the jack alone to hold it up!). Turn the rear wheels by hand while listening and feeling for slop or roughness. Crawl under the vehicle and check for play in the drive shaft bearings, then rotate the drive shaft by hand to check for rough bearings in the u-joints. Inspect the fender wells and suspension linkage for foreign objects that may be rubbing or bumping on the wheels. Inspect the tires for uneven wear, incipient blowouts (blisters) or other problems.
If you don't find anything in the rear end, lower the vehicle, block the rear wheels, jack up the front, and repeat the check on the front wheels.
Check your transmission fluid as directed in the owner's manual. It should be at the proper level and clean, with no burned odor. If there is a problem with the transmission fluid, the noise could be coming from the transmission.

Inspect your tires look at the tread, observe the wear across the tread, inspect the inner and outer side walls, look for bubbles, look at the rim look for damage. The more info you get the better.

first off how many miles are on the car?does it only do it on bumps in the road?

If you had new tires go back and have them check the balance on the side you here it from chances are the weight fell off or you have a bad rim that needs to be fixed one or the other if you need any more help or if its been in accident let me know or go to collisionrepairadvice.com

yes i think your on the right track
now to get it dialed down to what side?
