Vibration/Humming Noise
Recently my 2000 Avenger began to make a humming noise as I progessivly go faster. Once I hit around 50mph it is quit loud and I can feel a vibration in the steering wheel and pedals. When I turn slightly right the noise and feeling goes away. Does anyone know what this problem is?

I'm leaning towards the bearing too.
..but first check your breaks and make sure that the piston isn't sticking, also make sure that the e-brake pads aren't sticking because both can cause what you hear and feel. Your best bet is to jack up the rear pass side and turn the wheel by hand and listen, then take the wheel of and rotate the rotor, then remove the lower bolt that holds the calipers on and just lift the caliper and then rotate the rotor again...what did you find out doing this. Regardless of the process, you will have to take the wheel and calipers off, so you might as well do what's listed above and use it as practice
