Bearings or u-joint, maybe un balanced tire.
jack the car up on the right side and see if there is any play in the wheel. Grab it at twelve and six 'o clock and shake it, then grab it at nine and three and shake it. If there is any movement it's the bearing.

I would start with unbalanced tire since it is the cheapest option. That is how I roll, I start cheap, and work my way up LOL

Could be, does it get worse when you make a turn?
If so it's the joint for sure.
