Vibration when turning

There seems to be a low humming kind of vibration but only when I turn the wheel to the right and at speeds above 30 km/h. I'm thinking wheel bearing but I'm not too sure. Any ideas?

Bearings usually give a woop woop noise. And the noise stops when cornering one way or the other.

You may want to check your lug nuts. Torque to 85 ft pounds.

Common Canadian tools are imperial with maybe an additional metric scale. So that isn't an issue for us. And lookin at mine right now, it looks like 12 mkp (wtf???)

On the other hand, the day to day stuff like gas, speed, food and drink is all metric.
