When I am driving I hear a vibration like I am driving on the side of the hiway strip and it disappears when I turn right and gets worse when I turn left.I have replaced right front wheel bearing.

Left wheel bearings are bad. Jack the left side off the ground and spin it by hand. Should hear and feel roughness.

I jacked it up and I don't feel any grinding it seems to be pretty good. I've been working on my own cars for 20 years and I can't figure this one out.

It is usally the wheel bearing that makes noise while not under load so I would say it is a bad right front wheel bearing they are the same from side to side so if you still have your old bearing from the other side put it on the right side and see.
