I have a 98 Blazer 4x4 and at freeway speed when on a left curve you
hear a howling coming from the right front wheel.  At slower speeds or
driving straight down ther road there is no noise.   Could this be a
wheel bearing starting to going out or a cv joint?  Does anybody have
an answer or idea?

Thanks

My "nickle" is on the bearing. You might make sure the the axle nut is
tight even though it likley will not help anyway as I ahve seen them
work loose.

check the inner bearing on the right front.  It will be under the most
stress on the left turns, as it is under compression from the force of the
turn...  same with the outer on the left side but you have stated that the
sound is coming from the right.....

It's a sealed bearing, I think there's only one set in the assembly.
It's the right side wheel hub and bearing assembly that needs
replacing.

Did you, or your neighbor loose a cat?
