Sounds like a right front wheel bearing to me. Raise the wheel. Put the car in neutral and spin the wheel. Grab the spring and if it's bad, you can feel the balls crunching in the race.

I agree sure sounds like a wheel bearing. Hopefully not a spun one.

apparently it wasn't a wheel bearing nor the brakes, it was just mother nature doing her best, just ice build up...

had a used engine put in my 2002 GP. left the shop. now when I go left or straight, it sounds like a truck, took it back 5 times, they kept saying number 6 spark plug ( which was changed 3 times. only time it isn't loud is when I turn right. currently it's louder! was told could be wheel bearings need greasing, have you ever heard of this? 3 Answers

The noise sounds to me like it stuck in wrong gear. You know like when u drive a stick, and it in 3rd, when it should be in 4th. It wasn't marking this noise til that used engine was put in.
