My 1996 Honda Civic Lx 5 speed has roughly 200,000 miles. It has been lowered. Car drives straight, doesn't pull in any direction. When I get to about 38-40 mph until about 50-55 mph the car starts vibrating really bad in and out of gear. When I turn slightly or go into a corner, the vibration stops immediately. It seems to definitely be coming from the front, maybe even front right side.

I was thinking it could possible be the front right wheel bearing. Any thoughts on what might be causing the vibration and what to check?

Most likely a wheel bearing, joint or rotor but could other things as well. Only way to find out is bring it to someone who knows what they're doing.

Probably not an axle thought I would throw it out there, when joint goes bad it causes a vibration under acceleration (pretty sure the inner joint causes it and outer joint causes clicking when turning)
