My 2001 century started making a humming or growling noise when in motion. The noise has gotten louder over the past week replacing the worn out tires had no effect on the sound It seems to make alittle more noise when turning left. If it is a bearing, how do I determine whitch one, thanks for your help

Humming from wheels when steering left on a curve about 40-50 mph most likely means the right front wheel bearing needs replacement. I have seen it happen on the same side as the direction of steer, however.
