First off, there seems to be a whirring when I'm driving that only gets softer/hard to hear when I turn right (even slightly right).
Secondly, there's a noticeable squeak or squeal when I pull into a parking lot and somewhat noticeable squeak when turning.
In addition to those quirks, I also appear to wobble a bit when traveling at highway speeds.
Not sure if all of these are related, but I would like to address as many as possible, whichever is the most important or kill all 3 birds with one stone if possible.
check your power steering fluid, might be a little low. as for the wobble, is it pulling one direction or the other when trying to go straight down the road? if so might be an alignment.
Definitely not pulling, was just my tires, apparently one was 50 and the other was 35 psi and they weren't balanced. I just got them last week and I assumed they would be balanced lol

Sounds to me like all of those could be from a bad wheel bearing. I would jack up the car and see how much play there is. Sounds like your problem might be in the front right wheel, but I would check both front wheels. Grab the wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock position and see how much you can wiggle it. There should not be very much play.
Scratch that, had my brother and father ride along, and say it might be my left rear bearing. The power steering pump is letting out air, not really sure if that's related.
