HELLO -and thanks in advance for your help

When I'm driving at moderate speeds and am following a gentle curve of a road, especially a left-hand turn, I hear a sort of "wobbling" noise, and can **slightly** feel that wobble. When I straighten out the wheel, the noise stops, and when I follow the curves, the *wobble* is back. It's more of a noise than a vibration but "wobble" is the best word I can think of. Again, it's worse on a left-hand turn, but still there on a right hand turn. I think i'm narrowing it down to a wheel bearing (which one I'm not sure), and I don't know what process it would be to change it. Any help (step by step ++++ ) would be great. Thanks

Probably right wheel bearing.

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.

Wheel bearing how to in Duratec Maintenance FAQ

Yup, got the same problem.. I have let mine go for some time now.. It's very annoying now.. It sounds almost like I am driving in a different gear..
