Default Vibration!!!

Hey guys, I'm new here and will post my personal stuff up later.. But I need some help trying to find a problem on my cb7... For starters i just got this car. The person that had it before me cut the springs while they were still on the car,lol.... I'm not joking... So the first thing I did to get me by was put some ebay coil overs on... New coil overs will be here soon... So here is the problem, as I leave the store last night I turn left and get on it a little to get up to speed with traffic, my front end starts vibrating... feels like the right side... It also does it with it not in gear... So i jacked it up and have taken the wheels off. The left side will spin with no problem,nothing with a rubbing feel while spinning.. the right side does have a rubbing feel when you spin the hub... like theres a dead spot in it,if that make sense,lol.... Could it be my cv axle... boots are fine no clicking when i turn... Recap, car is lowered limited history on car.... any help would be great before i replace stuff i really don't need to...

Either the bearing is loose or the wheel needs to be balanced. It can't be the axle, because it'll only do it when powers are being transfered over from the axle.

Probably wheel bearing or brakes are binding.

Take the brakes off and spin it to eliminate any chance of it being a sticky caliper.

Thanks for the tips... It was binding when coasting as well.. It ended up being the axle.. It was the knuckle by the trans that was binding up.. but thanks for the tips once again...

Do what holmesnmanny, did this myself and fixed. Although I'm no 100% sure if the problem is fixed all the way.
