Default Front end Humm

I need some advice, when loading the steering wheel to the left, I get a humm, straight, and to the right almost does not exist. The car does not seem to pull or drag, and does not go away with distance driven, or cold.
When I got home tonight, felt front wheels at hubs, and they were cool after 30 miles at 55. Look under the car today, when it was on the lift, having the rear control arms replaced, and the front rt anti sway bar replaced, Front CV's looked new and were tight.

Any Ideas would be a help, sounds like coming from Drivers side, its a 2002 x-type sport 2.5l, I know tire noise, have but this is not it.

Thank you in advance

Sounds just like mine did. A new wheel bearing took care of it.

jagone, sounding like to me that you have a right front wheel hub that is starting to go. But, that is just a guess.

My car was doing the same thing when I turned and that was the problem. All good after it was replaced

Default Thanks All

Thanks to all of you, that is what my gut told me, I have ordered 2 front wheel bearings to repace both, when in the air, just as easy to do one as 2.

Thanks again all
