hey guys, i just wanted to get some ideas of what could be wrong with it. What happens is there is a huge vibration noise coming from the rear.. im pretty sure its the passenger side rear. The faster you go, the louder it is. But here is the wierd thing. When i turn car a little left the noise will go away, then when i resume straight or right it will come back.. its wierd. Im thinking wheel bearing, but im not exactly sure, so if anyone has suggestions, ill listen.

you're most likely correct, wheel bearing.

most likely its the wheel bearing. i had my experiences to with that and it was scary. I had it in an 87 mirage and it started vibrating really loud after going 30 mph or more. I never realy bothered it (this was back when i was 16) anyway the vibration disappeared for 5 minutes so i was like, hell yeah its gone. I entered a major street going around 40.. suddenly both rear tires locked up and tires screeched. i was forecfully stopped and couldnt go anywhere without dragging my rear tires. had to tow it in a flat bed, brought the car to the mechanic and they had to use heat to take off the split bearing that was stuck inside the disc rotor. dont let this happen to you because i almost got rear ended. replace the ****** right away and have a good day.

I had the same thing happen on my 88 Vert. It is the wheel bearing.
