recently I have noticed a noise coming from the drivers side in the front end. It starts at about 30-35mph and gets louder. almost sounds like in four wheel drive on dry pavement. when going around a curve to the left it goes away while in the turn and then comes back on straightaway. Is it a wheel bearing or something else?

Is it a growl or more like a squeel. A growl would be a wheel bearing, but if it is a high pitched squeal it is probably the inner hub seal on the rear of the hub.
