weird vibration
I started noticing that under heavier right turns, I'm getting a slight but definitely noticeable vibration. I have not checked the PS fluid yet but I'm guessing it could be a wheel bearing. Is this accurate?

No. Really no chance a vibration in a turn is from a wheel bearing...
Rotate your tires front to rear first... that is a cheap way to eliminate one possibility ...

Possibly a tweaked rim from a pothole or curb encounter? A broken cord in the tire?, as was mentioned rotate tires and see of the problem goes away then you know where to look.

You really should answer all the legit questions when you post after they have been asked... it helps the big picture for diagnosing...
You did not answer ARmy's question about vibration being felt through the steering wheel... IF NOT... then the normal guess for more thumping when in a corner is the half shaft.... if this had been a front drive car we would have guessed this up front.... (PUN )

Taking turns at about 15-20mph, vibration appears to be side to side. It does not occur on left turns, and there is no abnormal wear in the tires.

ARmy asked if you are feeling it through the steering wheel.... or the car....

It seems to be the steering wheel.
This might seem dumb, but could it be a bad motor mount on one side? The vibration only happens when a fair amount of weight is shifted via right turns, and when I take them slow, it's hardly noticeable.

Yes , having read the FSM concerning engine mounts....and knowing how much they can deteriorate and that they are seldom even installed correctly....
However, that would typically not be felt through the steering wheel... but through the chassis of the car.... but you should inspect them really well ... Some people have reported totally broken ones which were not obvious to the eyeball....
