I have A 99 Blazer. When I going down the road I get a humming sound and the steering will shake alittle. When I turn the wheel to the right the noise is not as loud. So I replaced the left side wheel bearing. I still have the noise. Can it be the right side bearing. Can't feel no play on right side wheel.

2WD and 4WD both have two sets of bearings on each side. Making a right turn unloads the left inner and right outer bearings. If the noise stops when you turn, it could be either one, have to check them with a stethoscope to be sure.

It was the right bearing. Thanks
