another weird noise from my car Options

[celicarocker]

ok... bear with me here this is kinda hard to describe... first off, the noise only happens when the cars in motion, and im pretty sure its something to do with the wheels spinning... its kinda hard to tell where its coming from, but sounds like the front drivers side wheel... when im going slow you can hear it but its kinda faint, and when you get up to like 40 its loud, and at 80 its real loud... you can tell its something rotating, cuz it gets slower and faster with acceleration/deacceleration... it sounds like when your driving down the highway, and you hit that groved pavement on the side of the road... kinda like that when your going real fast.... but anway the weird part about it is, the noise stops if i make a left hand turn... like if i switch lanes, or take a corner, the noise goes away... straighten the weel out, and its back....

any ideas? explaining things as simple as possible would be best, i still dont know too many things about cars but any help would be greatly appreciated, im waaaay too poor to bring it to a mechanic....

I can assure you it won't be easy to take the wheel bearings out yourself. You need a wheel bearing press and experience. I just saw this done on another car and it was a pain in the ass. Our wheel bearings are pressed in, that's why they don't just sell the entire hub assembly which would be easier to just bolt on/off. Seriously, if it's a wheel bearing, take it to a shop or find someone who's done that before.
