i have a 04 cavalier and everythimg e you turn the wheel to the right it gets this bad vibratin and like a grinding sound. I was wondering if this could be the wheel barrings or a bad alignment . i had it done back in november the car aligned. i want to get it fixedi drive it everyday.

could be a wheel bearing, how many miles does your car have.

while rolling or sitting still? i would pull the front wheels off and remove the brake caliper and make sure the pads are not worn weird or have made any metal to metal contact to the rotor and make sure the caliper slides are cleaned and re-greased and while i was at i would knock the glaze off the pads and clean the holder and add a little grease to the holder. just to coat the contact points of the holder to prevent rust. as well as pulling the rotor so you can inspect both sides for cracks. and while the car is up in the air not running with all the brake stuff on turn the wheel lock to lock to make sure that it is not the strut bearings. in the end if you don't find it it maybe the column bearings


see ya!
