This does not happen all of the time but sometimes when I make a right hand turn my right front makes a noise that sounds like and according to my brother feels like when you run over the rumble strips on the highway.
I was told that the wheel bearings might be bad or going bad.
Any ideas?

make sure the tires arent rubbing... thats a common deal with oversize tires. you can trim the black plastic airdamn at an angle on both sides to correct it.

Cant rule out over sized tires. Check for play in your front hubs. They make some strange sounds when they are going out.

Sounds like you've got a front hub bearing going out to me. Jack up the front end and shake the wheels.

If you do it yourself, about $200 for the hub assembly and new spindle nut. (new spindle nut is recommended) No packing bearings since its all sealed ready for install.
I put mine on my 01' 2500hd in a couple of hours, with a few sockets and a wrench or two.

I took it to have the bearings looked at yesterday and they said everything was fine, no play in the wheel and they could not justify putting new ones in at this time. These guys are real good friends of one of my brothers.
I did have to have the rear brakes done though. They were worn out and one side dug into the rotor.
