Guess the problem

A noise developed on me. As I drive, it sounds like an even, high pitched vibrating whine. It occurs when I drive straight, increases it's vibration level when I turn left, and goes away when I turn right. The whine's pitch increases as speed climbs. From what I can tell, it is confined to somewhere up front. I had my brakes done 1100 miles back, all four. I'm going to get it fixed on the weekend and so far the guesses have ranged from: Rear end damage. Universal Joint. Brake rotor warp. (Though there is no pumping, the brakes stop smoothly.

Any guesses?

I was going to say driveshaft or u-joints. I have had

2 warped driveshafts that had similar symptoms, except for the left turn thing....maybe a good lo' fashion wheel alignment might help. I would look over the steering rack too.

Bad wheel bearing(s).

Probably the result of no or poor greasing and/or excessive tightening, after removal of brake rotors.

I hope this is the issue. Then I can lay it on the people who did my brakes.

I'm thinking it's steering related also.
