Nah, not worth it if nothing is wrong with it.

A bad fuse wouldn't cause a hum, it causes things to not work. is the hum not constant? starts when your going above speeds of 20mph? you should check the ground wire going to the abs pump. they corrode and lose connection. had this happen in my monte.

Not just the wiring, but your rear hubs can also do this. It's not just the fronts.

If you are getting ABS lights, you should be able to get the code read and see what is throwing the fault. Definitely start with checking the wiring though

update: put my new Monroe quick struts on, all 4,front was a breeze the back however was kinda a pain in the ***! got new tires and alignment today,Falken Ziex ZE 912 tires. not quite as sporty as I wanted but I got a great deal. I also had got a $120 rebate visa card on the struts and a $ 50 card for the new cat, which I paid on the tires. Man oh Man what a difference!! all this fixed my shaking I had at 60MPH,tightened up my steering and of course new shoes are new shoes!!! I think I am going to replace my front sway bar end links next with poly bushings! any comments? ZZP or Moog? as always thank you for your assistance!!

I am using moog sway bar links and love them. You could also upgrade to a gmpp front and rear sway bar with poly bushings for it if you wanted better handling.
