humming and vibration...need help figuring out problem

I have no idea where to place this thread seeing I have no idea what the problem is. If you can think of where to put it let me know.

Onto the problem. Whenever I turn left, even slightly, I can feel some vibration coming through the accelerator. Also a faint humming sound, maybe coming from front right but not sure. None of this happens when going straight or turning to the right.

I have checked lugnuts and the fenders to make sure they are not rubbing.

check the front wheel bearings

remove the front wheels and brake calipers and se eif the wheel hub rocks on the spindle,
if not spin it with ur hand on it and see if it spins smoothly, if its not smooth u may need to repack the front wheel bearings and possible tighten them up and or replace them
