While driving about 35mph and turning to the right I hear a whinning sound around the front wheel area. Almost like tire tread whine. Does not make this sound turning left. Cannot tell if it makes the sound at slow speeds. PS Fluid is clean a full.

Have the left front wheel bearing checked. It sounds like it is going bad.
