Front end noise

My '98 blazer has developed a "growling" sound in the front end. I hear it while driving straight and turning to the left. It disappears completely with the slightest turn to the right. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check your wheel bearings. And make sure your calipers arent froze on the pins.

Your right bearing is gone. When you turn left you load the right bearing.

Only thing to do is replace the whole bearing hub.
