Hey guys, I searched and found a lot of posts about bad bearings with vibrations in turns, but I'm not really clear on this. I can feel the vibration and hear it as sort of a hum (mentioned in most posts) but it's not obnoxiously loud and the vibration is minimal, sort of feels like when you turn the wheel as far as it'll go and you can feel/hear the P/S pump straining, but I can also feel it through the gas pedal and it only happens when making slight right hand turns. What do you guys think?

Most probably left (driver) side wheel bearing. Do the 12-6 o'clock and 3-9 o'clock tests to confirm.

Jack up the car. Place on jack stands.

Grasp wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock and push in and out. Any movement, most probably suspect wheel bearing.

9 and 3 o'clock - tie-rod/ball joint.
