Help: new front bearings hasn't stopped the vibration!

hello again

my car drives perfectly, except when i try to turn right, then a serious grumbling sound occurs. the faster/tighter the turn the more it grumbles/vibrates. it is now impossible to turn right at anything over 20mph gently. i'd have bet my house it was bearings but now that i have renewed both front sets of bearings nothing has changed at all. if it was bearings i would at least have expected the noise to change slightly but it is exactly the same. i have tried various degrees of tightness/freedom on the retaining nut but this makes no difference either, so i have tightened it up and backed it off one third as per the Haynes instructions.

i can only conclude that this problem is being caused by something else, but i am now at a loss to find what it is. the only clues i can offer are:

1. the steering rack is quite loose at the steering wheel, and maybe this problem manifests itself due to worn steering racks. in which case, is this a big job to replace or worth it since the car is virtually worthless (but a good runner).

2. the right hand side engine block mount has disintegrated. which means the engine knocks when i start it up, but apart from that there are no other problems. i am due to replace this next weekend. i can't imagine that this is responsible for the problem but thought it worth mentioning just in case.

apart from those two faults i can't think of anything else that is wrong, so any thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated.

thanking you in advance as always

justin
