Yeah, could be any of these. I had a noisy humming coming from the front of my car and I thought it was a bearing. Turned out to be the tires.

Delano, sometimes you can see it. Make sure to really check both the inside and ouside of the tires. If you have a floor jack and some stands, switch the tires front to the rear. If the "sounds moves" to the rear of the car, it's a tire issue, if not, it's likey a bearing, or some other front end part. Good luck |

Buy a new car.
That'll fix your problem.

my wife's Bug had this problem; crazy loud humming etc; jacked up the car, and checked all wheels for play; on the last one, I had a good 1/8-1/4" play.
got it replaced, and humming stopped.

Wheel bearing is an initial thought, but diagnosing is a first person exercise.
If that's what it is, replacement is a doable job, if you obtain a few things first. If you buy a replacement from Autozone, etc., they should 'rent' [ie, pay for, then get a refund on upon return] you a three prong puller. Center that on the spindle, and hook the prongs behind the bearing. Pry it loose by tightening the puller screw with a hefty wrench. Your best friend here is a cheater bar, find a piece of hollow tubing that'll fit over your wrench, the longer the better. I have one that's 5 feet. That'll be the difference between a few minutes of pressure and a 1/2 hour of balls-out exertion. If you have anti-lock, take care not to damage the sensor.

Has anyone said bearing yet? They're actually called ball joints and that's probably your problem.
Also check your CV Axles. If it is a Ball joint then you need to get that shit fixed right away. If it decides to fail while you're driving you're going to be in a heap of shit.
