RE: Muffled roaring sound on turning right?



Sounds as though you've joined the legions of us whose right front wheel
bearing died. Mine cost $63 from Linda at Carlsen (800.523.2408). and 2
hours  (chatting with the mechanic the whole time, prolly one hour's
work) with the special Schley bearing puller and an air impact wrench to
swap out. HTH.
