well that is prob true as well, and also when u turn the inside wheel will almost stop, so if the noise stops then it is the wheel that stops

But like you said going around a corner if it gets louder when i make a left corner , the weight would shift to the pass. side thus make the pass. bearing hum louder.. Also would this be why i have several lights on in my dash? Abs , trac. service vehicle soon??

also that is correct itll cause all of those to be on yes

I had the same thing with my 2000 GAGT about a year or 2 ago, it was my pass side hub bearing. If u do it urself, make sure u have a rubber mallot or some sort of hammer that u can beat on the hub itself with, cus it wont just come off, i had to pound on mine like hell for about 5-10 minutes before it came off, good thing i replaced it when i did tho too, cus when the hub came off and out, it came out in 2-3 pieces, but ya, its definetely a hub. Got mine from checkers here in my town for 140.

You have time. It really has to howl and the car will pull to one side before it seizes. I drove from NY to Florida with a noisy bearing. It was under warranty and I had it changed when I got back to NY.
