What causes a vehicles tires to wobble and make grinding noises that worsen when you turn right?
On Front Wheel Drives, when the CV Joint is going bad it will do
this because the joint is not wearing out and when turned you get a
clacking sound. I believe it is the CV joint opposite of the way
you turn that is bad.

How do you determine if the CV axle is bad on a 1998 Saab 9000?
Look at the outer CV boot. If it is torn, dirt and water have
already gotten into the the CV joint and it will most likely need
to be replaced. The indication that a CV joint is going bad is that
it will click-click-click-click when making a turn. Generally the
left side will make the noise in a right hand turn and vice-versa.

Can a bad cv joint make noise going straight or slowing down?
Yes it can, and if it is, trust me this just happened to me, you
got to fix it as fast as possible. If you just blow it off you can
be looking at some dire consequences. 1) The CV joint can abruptly
fail and you will lose all drive power, if one CV joint goes your
differential will NOT power the other wheel. 2) if you are driving
at a good click, the RPMs on the CV joint will...
