Hi guys.
New problem that I think is a wheel bearing but I thought I'd try and get a second opinion.

Theres a loud hum coming from the front of the car when I'm doing anything over 40. Happens whether I'm in gear or not. It gets quieter when I turn left and louder when I turn right.

Am I right in thinking its the front left wheel bearing?

Any help is appreciated!

It does sound like a bearing although you would expect to hear it when you're not turning too.

Check the inner CV on the drivers shaft.

I can still hear it when I'm not turning, it just gets quieter when turning left. Its definitely more of a humming sound than a knocking one though which made me think it might be something other than a bearing

P/S pump?

I say bearing as its noise changes when the load is different on it when turning in different directions. A power steering pump would make the same noise whether going straight or turning ither direction.
