    - So I'm at a loss on what could be wrong here. 2002 gp gt with 109,xxx on the clock. When going above 55 mph driving in a straight line there is a humming/howling noise coming from the rear end and the ride has gone from soft to a vibration, but not enough to vibrate the mirrors.

    - When turning right it gets a little worse, but if accelerating and turning right like an entrance ramp(30-45mph) it gets really bad. This causes the mirrors to shake and the steering wheel to vibrate it almost feels like the wheels are wobbling during this.

    - If I turn the wheel to the left approx 10 degrees or more the humming/howling disappears and the slight vibration stops. Accelerating left causes no issues.

    - To add to the complexity when going straight with even slight throttle(+55 mph) if the car dips down due to a bump in the road that slight vibration feels like the rumble strips on the highway until the suspension rebounds.

    Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated....

    sounds like a real bad wheel bearing.
