    Just a quick question. When i turn the the right theres a pretty big humming noise. i can feel it on the steering wheel. and my abs light is on so i know its the wheel hub. what side would it be if it does that when i turn to the right?

    Could be either one on the front, you need to narrow it down because its possible its the rear as well. Put the car in park with the abs light off, maybe when its first started, while its idling turn the steering wheel back and forth if the lights go off its definately one of the front because the rear tires arent moving. If it is the front best thing to do is switch one out and if it doesnt fix it then swap it to the other side.

    In my situation, it was loudest turning right and it was the left front wheel bearing.

    So I have an update on my vibrating issue. I have three horrible tires. One tire is even cupped. Brutal right Suspension checked out cool I.E. Control arm, ball joint, bushings, wheel hub/Bearing, Axle Shaft So have all your tires checked and balanced and see if that fixes your issue.
