Front Wheel Bearing Hum- Left or Right side? #64866 06/30/02 04:33 PM

The noise is present when going straight and turning to the left. The noise disappears when I'm in a right hand bend. Any ideas on which side I should replace?

Thanks Terry, I suspected that was how this would work out but wanted some additional input before starting the work. Scott 95 SE-2.5L ATX (120K+ miles & many mods)

I just finished the right hand wheel bearing, strut, spring and lower balljoint and I still have the noise I'm planning on left strut/spring, lower balljoint in a few days, so it looks like the left wheel bearing gets replaced also... BTW- One of the local NAPA shops charged $43 for the bearing + $35 for machine shop (press) service. Scott 95 SE-2.5L ATX (120K+ miles & many mods)
