Default turning left the front end noise stops

When I turn to the left the noise and vibration stops, when I go forward and take rights the front end makes noise and grinds, (I notice it more when above 20 mph). Itsnot really bad but needs to be fixed. The right front wheel bearing is new. any idea, thanks

That actually sounds like a LEFT front wheel bearing, if the noise quits when you turn left.

its a vibrating/grinding noise. consistant with a wheel baring noise, I was told when I bought the truck the right front bearing was bad, I replaced it and the noise changed so I guess both wheel barings may have been bad. The truck had alot of highway miles, its got 91,000 on it now.

the slightest left turn and the sound go's away. if I'm on the highway and I change lanes twards the left the sound stops for the time i'm changing twards the left. Still sound like the left bearing?

Only 91k miles anda frontwheel bearing went out? Pull the tire and caliper off and spin it by hand so that you can "feel" the bearing spin. Were they submerged or Something? If theright sidewas out then the other side cant be far behind.
