Ok, I've noticed this for a while, but it was driving me nuts on my trip today. Going straight ahead or curves to the right it's smooth as silk, but I have a rough, wobbly sound/feel while turning to the left. Now, even though it has a wobbly feel to it, the car itself doesn't seem to have a shimmy, or shake. I'm think maybe driver's side wheel bearing. Any ideas guys and girls?

Ok. well, the outter CV boot on that side is torn (has been since I got the car) so that may have something to do with the sound.

Usually , the left-right turns tells that its the bearings , they are the ones thatr forces left and right when you tunrs (side force), the CV shaft doesnt budge , he bolted tight there.

Change the boot while your at it.

Usually a nice loose will come up of the wheel with a bad bearing , jack the car , look for a up-down-left-right wheel loose.

I concur that the wheel bearings are the likely cause of the wobble.

Regarding the CV joint boot; it is cheaper and cleaner to just buy a remanufactured CD half shaft. Most of the (as low as $60) remans come with a lifetime warranty so you should never have to pay for a torn boot repair again. It is also much more simple to slide the new halfshaft in to the transaxle than clean and rergease a CV joint boot. You ahve to reinstall the shaft into the knuckle on either repair.
