front end noise

I have a 97 f150 with around 80,000 miles on it. Recently it started making a rumbling sound up front when I turn the wheel. It seems the worst when I turn left, but it also seems to make the noise when I go over bumps.....I took it to a mechanic and they said it might be the wheel bearing but they werent sure (they told me it would be over 500 bucks to fix so I wanted to see how I could tell for myself) any ideas ???

Thanks

Take it to another mechanic for a second opinion.

Thanks for using FTE!
