you talking fwd vehicles or trucks with solid axles???
fwd cars usually make a whirr type noise then driving that matches veh. speed. some times you notice this when you turn. turn left its the right wheel brg turn right its the left 99% of the time(due to weight shift of veh.) sometimes if you jack the wheel up you feel slight play when you grab the wheel top and bottom check side to side for tie rod play(inner or outer) ball joints are a whole different test proceedure stateing make and model realy helps us out
You won't find an engine oil one, it has a dry sump and is located on the oil tank. The gearbox however has one, under the engine between the gear change lever and oil pump.
I'd certainly rotate tires to see if noise changes at all, as well as take a good look at tread on front tires, especially for excess or unusual wear on edges, especially outside of right front, if your quite sure the noise is coming from the right side. Does the noise increase, decrease, or stay same, on a left hand turn? Another thing would be to check all motor, and transmission mounts and see if it looks like things may have shifted slightly, or if they appear worn or broken, as well as If engine/transaxle has shifted slightly it can cause similar noises as well. As far as left front bearing goes, I wouldn't rule it out 100% either, unless you are positive noise is from right front area. You have to remember, either way you turn the wheel, will slightly shift either bearing if there is play in it. Rule out easy stuff first like tires.
Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect power steering reservoir, and remove reservoir bracket. Disconnect wire harness bracket for Data Link Conne ctor No. 1. Remove generator and generator bracket.
Remove ABS actuator. Raise and support vehicle. Rem ove right front wheel. Remove right engine undercover. Remove power steering drive belt. Sligh tly jack up engine and remove right engine mounting
insulator.
Remove spark plugs. Remove crankshaft pulley. . Remove right engine mounting bracket. Remove No. 2 timing belt cover. . Temporarily install crankshaft pulley with pulle y bolt. Set No. 1 cylinder to TDC on compression stroke. .
Loosen mounting bolt of No. 1 idler pulley and shif t pulley toward left as far as it will go to reliev e belt tension. . Temporarily tighten idler pulley. Remove cranksh aft pulley and No. 1 timing belt cover.
If reusing timing belt, mark direction of rotation on belt. Also place match marks on belt and camshaf t pulley. . Remove timing belt from engine.
iam am no doubt totally wrong here ,but i would first of all check the power steering fluid level ,then turn steering from left to right with engine running and check the fluid level again
Check the thermostat, and clean or replace the idle air control valve, replace the ball joints, replace the plugs and plug wiresthis should correct the problem.
