I will check the bearings for roughness while the car is on jack stands with a stethescope.
As far as it being the right, I'm pretty sure but I'm no expert. Unloading the right side of the car results in a marked decrease in the noise, almost to the point it is gone.
I also noticed that it is slightly less on acceleration (as the car squats slightly). Compressing the suspension at speed (going over a dip on a highway bridge) results in a slightly louder sound. Also, I can feel something through the break pedal. I haven't noticed it in the gear shift but will give it a feel.
Thanks
Chris
