2000 Toyota Camry mileage: 94,000. Are Front Wheel Bearings something that still needs maintenance/replacing these days (1990's vs. 1970's)? If so, is it fairly easy for a DIY or am I not saving much money by taking it to a shop? First, I don't know if that's my problem. "Occasionally" I can notice a scratchy noise in the front. It happens (sometimes) when I coast down a hill only at the point if I turn the wheel to the left. The noise will stop when I straighten out. Do you think that is worn bearings or are my brake pads rubbing?

The wheel bearings on the newer cars still require maintenance. They are much more difficult to access. Remove the front wheels, inspect the amount of brake pad remaining, and replace if necessary. Also, check to see that the dust shields are not too close to the brake rotors. Your noise may possibly be wheel bearings.
