Some guidance would be appreciated

I bought a 2007 maxima I love the car but recently the steering wheel along with the whole car started vibrating when I accelerate or when I’m going up hill but when I get to a steady speed it stops, when I brake there’s no vibration also when I turn to the left it’s fine but when I turn to the right it’s vibrating the same as when I accelerate also tonight I smelt burnt rubber when I got home and parked. Any ideas? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks y’all

Burnt rubber...I wonder if your brake caliper is sticking (the piston is not retracting completely due to the piston or slide pins).

Figure out which tire smells like burnt rubber and have a look at the corresponding caliper piston/slide pins to rule those out.
