Default vibration when turning right....searched

and its not what i suspected either, i suspected the hub bearing was shot and it did have play, and i replaced it with a known good one. the car is a stock 1990 accord ex 5 speed, and it sounds like im running over rumble strips on a highway and it gets louder when you turn to the right but you can hear it at anytime above 40 mph.

it doesnt seem to be to serious because since ive owned it and i obught it like this, ive put close to 2000 miles on it without any truoble i just want to find it so i can fix it

Have you tried rotating the tires, front to back or side to side to see if the noise moves around? Easier than pulling axles.

ok i rotated the tires, they have the correct pressure in them, the noise still didnt move. its still only roraing when you turn right or go around a curve, also you cant notice it until your going at least 30 mph

I'd swap the CV axles. Hold old are they? Or, did you solve this problem already?
