Default Wheel bearings or axle/CV

My car is pulling to the right and it seems to make noise comming from the front passenger wheel, could this be the axle or wheel bearing?

If it's pulling to the right then your alignment is probably off.
As far as the noise goes, what does the noise sound like, under what conditions are your hearing it (i.e. is it just ALL the time?), and which of the cars in your sig. are we talking about here? and what's the mileage on the parts in question?

its the 92 dx dont know the true mileage, the noise is kind of like a rough road bumps and its speed dependent every time it hits it sort of jerks the wheel to the right a little, its not clicking,
how would I test it to see if it is a bad bearing?

If i'm undestanding you correctly, sounds like it could be the bearing. Raise the car on jackstands at the suspected corner and wiggle your wheel to and fro. How does it feel?

I guess this issue is pretty much solved, now I thank God I'm okay...

I was going home from work today and it started to vibrate extra hard luckly the traffic slowed to 40-50 mph before that I was going with traffic at 70-80, right when I slowed it blasted my front driver side tire. I saw chunks flying out, so like a ricer i put on my hazards and went off to the shoulder. I changed my wheel to a 14incher, cuz all of them were 13in OEM steeelies, now my car rolls smooth like a limo. Now the car doesnt vibrate and does not pull to the right at all, just a little to the left but that could be cuz I got a 14inch wheel in the left front and the rest of them are 13's
It seems the tire/wheel must have caused those vibrations..
