My 96 GMC Jimmy is making a very loud whirring noise, not all the time, but quite a bit. People tell me its the wheelbearing. Its coming from the right front tire. Could you please help, and maybe give me the cost of repairing it? thank you

Does the noise change if you make a left versus a right turn?

They are pricy, a guess of a few hundred to five hundred.
