Grinding when turning right?

Grinding when turning right?
So my evo IX has 34k miles, and so far so good. Until today. All of a sudden its making a weird grinding noise when turning right only...for example if I tried to do a small circle going right, it would make a bad rubbing/grinding sound. The problem dosen't look to be visible, though I haven't jacked up the car yet. Also, its weird that it only happens when turning right.
Any ideas?

Nope, I've been to the 1/4 mile before but never ever launched. I got the car with 6k miles on it, so it may have been launched during that timespan. I do hit it occasionally, but I'm sure I'm not the only Evo driver who actually hits it...
It sounds like it something from the right wheel-area?

It is most likely the Wheel Bearing on the car. For instance if you turn right and you hear a noise then you know a bearing is most likely bad on the left. And if you turn Left you wouldn't hear it coming from the same spot. Same thing goes for the other side just switched.
Another way to test for a bad Bearing is to put the car up on a lift. Then Put One hand At 12 and the other at 6 on your tire. Now wobble the tire back and forth. If there is any play then you know it might be the wheel bearing as well.
The same thing happened to my front left Wheel Bearing

All you guys are wrong! I hate to say this b/c its extremely embarrassing.....but my lug nuts were loose!!
I had checked them immediately when I heard the noise, and they all seemed fine. After driving back to my apartment I checked them again and noticed I could finger tighten/loosen all on the driver side front tire. After I snugged those up I haven't heard the noise at all.
Luckily I'm so OCD about my car I heard the noise right when it started, so I didn't have a wheel go flying off while doing 100+ down the road.
