Vibration on hard right turns

[mav1178]

And for the record:

Larger wheels (esp. lower offset wheels) tend to decrease the life of wheel bearings via increased load on them.

Look for tire rub marks could be right or left side.

Front wheel bearings are not covered under the powertrain warranty.

Rear wheel bearings are covered under the powertrain warranty.

Given that OP has issues with the front passenger wheel bearing... yeah, it's not going to happen if that is the cause of the vibration and will be subject to the regular (or extended) warranty. And given the mods, they will deny it.

Meh. It's just a wheel bearing.

even so. It's not that hard to remove the front hub. At least it's not awd with the axle in the way
