Vibration when turning right

I have a 2002 GP GTP that has a vibration I can’t seem to find. It is the strongest when turning right and accelerating, but I can feel it at a reduced level when the suspension compresses going down the highway and when turning right with no acceleration. I know the issue is not with the tires, and I don’t think it’s the bearing ( no play in tire when off the ground. ) This issue seems to be common but has uncommon conclusions. Any help would be great!

Dont think its the hub. There isn't any play in the tire and rim when I jacked the car off the ground.

doesnt mean its not going bad. probably a long shot but check your CV. my bearing on driver front is going out but theres no play in it...yet
 
i had exact same problem vibrating from front driver side when suspension compressed... i replaced struts and driver side axle... and it went bye bye... more than likely under acceleration its the axle.
 


I also had this exact problem.. I replaced the wheel bearing hub and later the passenger side primary CV Half Shaft (Axle). The shaking with turning and acceleration went completely away. The car still has a little shake to it, but I've come to conclusion it's because the old tires and old struts that need replacing. Hope this was a help to ya.

When you replaced the passenger side CV, was you car giving vibrations in a left or right turn?
 
It really only shook when I would turn left, and when there was pressure on the CV. For example: the more acceleration, the more the shaken would worsen. Until one day, I was leaving Wal-Mart, and I heard a pop sound. As I took off, every so many feet, I could feel like something hitting really hard. I couldn't tell what it is. After I stopped again, I took off normal and the hitting got so hard that I couldn't drive over 10MPH. When I got it home I immdetiatly looked up soulutions. When I went to Car Quest, a guy that worked at a GM dealer said it was either the wheel bearing hub or CV halfshaft on the opposite side of which way u turn. So like I said, turn left, it's the right side. I replaced the bearing. No luck. I then replaced the CV, and every bit of the shaking and "stupidity" as I call it when away, except for the little but that was caused by maybe bad struts or the old tires I had. Hope this helps!!!
