Odd Sound
Hey guys, I'm new to the forums, but I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out.
I've got a kind of thumping noise every time my right front wheel turns. It happens when I'm driving straight, and when I'm turning, but it decreases noticeably when I turn right (I guess because it takes a lot of pressure off the right front?)
Anyhow, I'm thinking that it is a bad wheel bearing, I just wanted to see if I was on the right track or not.
The car is a '94 Accord 4door automatic, I'm not sure what edition though, because I just bought the car and there's no owner's manual...
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Bearings tend to make a rumbling sound when they go bad.
I would put the car up on jackstands, then turn the steering wheel until it locks. Try to push/pull the tire at 3/9 then 12/6 o'clock. The tire should have very little movement. If there is excessive movement, try to see what suspension component is moving.
