definately the wheel bearing, but if it happens when you turn left it is the pass side

I have a chevy lumina and when i turned right the noise went away and it ended up being my passenger side hub assembly. Make sure its your driver side before you change it, it would suck to change both for no reason.

Did replacing the hubs help. I have the loud humming sound, but no change when I make a turn. I bought new tires and rotated to see if it was the tires. The garage says it might be a bearing, but he isn't sure.
