humming noise
My 2002 f150 2 wheel drive makes like a humming noise , hard to explain but the noise gets higher pitch the faster i go , and slowing down pitch gets lower .I assume its my bearings on front wheels, anybody else have anty ideas, thanks ..recently replaced pads and rotors grease bearings good.

does it change turning right or left?? If so, it could be the rear diff oil is broken down or low and needs replaced/ refilled.
It could be the U-joints on the drive shaft.
it could be the emergency brake pad broke loose ( if you have rear disc brake pads)
and yes it could be the front wheel bearings too.

it only does it driving , not stopped .
feels and sounds like it is in front end but not 100% sure
It slowly got worse and worse, started hearing when veering around a turn and now it is when i start to move going up in speed and when im slowing down to a stop.
I did changed rear diff oil 3 months ago.
But it sure sounds like front end , wheels almost like nobby tires sound if that makes sense.Thanks

recently the noise has gone one day and back the next , i noticed when i slow to veer or turn right the noise goes away , turning or veering left it stays .
Gonna pull drivers side brakes and replace bearings since i have new ones.
Brakes were done 3 months ago , i reused bearings.
