when i got in my gt today, when i was driving it was making a droning sound like i had 4x4 tires on my car but when i turn my steering wheel to the left it goes away? but if i turn it to the right it does not go away.Anyone know what could cause this? could it be a wheel bearing? i didnt see anything stuck underneath the car that i could be dragging. any ideas?

Yeah, it sounds like a front wheel bearing.

Wheel bearing for sure. Mine did the same thing exactly but on opposite sides.

I believe that you will need a 36mm socket to remove the retaining nut, and they can not be reused either. get the bearings, which come as a whole hub assembly, for like $75-100 each, and make sure they come with the new nut. I'm sure someone here can confirm this.
