U joint???
Ok, my terminology might be off on this one, but I am getting a vibration and rubbing/ slight grinding noise from what sounds like the drivers fron of my car. It gets louder when I turn to the right, not sure why...
Is that the U joint or what? How do i go about fixing this problem?

Hmmm, can't be a u-joint, they are only on the driveshaft and it's just before the rear end. Rule that out.
First thing I would do is grease the bearings. Pull the wheel, snap ring? then remove the bearings. There are inner and outer bearings, force tons of new grease into them, if one is dry, replace it! The "race" will never hold grease again after being overheated.
Good Luck and keep us posted.

Emann, let us know what you find out, think were all curious now. If your lazy or it's cold where you are at, any tire shop can pull the wheel and check the bearings in a few minutes. Good tire shops have bearing on the shelf, make sure you do both sides bro'
