I have a weird noise that is coming from what sounds like the front drivers side tire once I hit 45+ mph. There is vibration in my steering wheel at that time as well. The noise and vibration gets worse when taking curves to the right at 45+ mph and almost completely goes away when turning at any speed to the left. I had my father jack up the car and there is no play in either front tire but there is slight up and down play in the back drivers side tire and a significant amount of in and out play in both rear tires. What could be the problem??

The symptoms are typical of a noisy front wheel bearing. You may feel it by jacking the vehicle up, spinning the tire by hand, and feeling for a vibration on the coil spring. If that doesn't work, you'll need to run it in gear on a hoist and listen next to each bearing with a stethoscope.
