I've searched through the forum looking for the same symptoms but nothing quite matches. Basically, under general driving (straight) I get a deep whirring sound. This vibrates through the cabin but not enough be annoying.

On right turns/bends the noise and vibration decreases (weight being shifted onto the passenger side) but on left turns/bends (weight being shifted onto the drivers side) the noise and vibration increases.

I've jacked up the car and the drivers side is pretty difficult to turn by hand.

Would this point to a wheel bearing?

Or could it be the intermediate shaft bearing?

Or both?

If it's more of a low rumble it's the wheel bearing
