It's better now, but I can still notice some humming under the same conditions. Is there anything else that could be bad, or perhaps even the right bearing?

I can't remember for sure, but I think it's like 200 lbs torque, or something like that. It could also be the other wheel bearing. 95 Contour Zetec, ATX (wrecked, sitting in the barn) 95 Mystique Zetec, MTX 2000 Taurus SEL 3.0L Duratec 1994 Crown Victoria LX 4.6 V8 1993 Chevy Silverado 4.3 V6
