There is a verry audible humming coming from my driver front and passenger rear tires. Does this sound like the wheel bearings? Im afraid it is.

See mine has started doing the same thing but only when over 10 mph. Not in any turns or anything like that just at higher speeds. Any ideas on that???? Thought that it was a screw that was in my tire had it taken out but still the humm is there.

It could be wheel bearing.

You can jack up a car and try to spin wheels with your hand (fast) and listen to the bearing.

is it all the time or just at certain times? contrary to what faith said I think that it should be that you hear the noise when turning the opposite way of the noise. because you turn right, it puts more weight on the left side bearing, of course I could be completly wrong.

I bought the bearings for $16 each. Has anyone done the swap by taking apart the wheel assembly?
I'm gonna try doing this, so hopefully I wont damage the suspension bushings.
