Default Front right wheel bearing going?

So i am on fall break from my school this weekend and i go and get my car out of storage and after about 30miles a low humming starts and at first i couldnt figure out what it is but i think i got it figured out now to the front right bearing is going on my car.

When ever i get above 35mph it would start humming, and then when i would turn right it would go away(putting the load on the left tire) then when i would turn left the humming would increase alot. (putting the load on the right tire)

So am i right in thinking that it is my right front bearing?

also has anybody ever replaced one of these themselves, if so was it diffucult or not?

I am thinking i should be able to do this myself but i am not sure.

thanks for any help in advance

Default RE: Front right wheel bearing going?

I've had them changed for me. You don't just replace a bearing like you used to. You replace the whole hub assembly, and they aint cheap! Chanced are, if one is bad, the other is too. On my '01, one side was sloppy loose, and the other side had flat spots on the bearings, and you could feel the tight spots. Just about opposite from each other, yet both junk. As far as I know, you can replace it yourself, but you will need an alignment after its done.
