2002 explorer humming noise

I did the new tires, new brakes and rotors,new right front bearing and hub assy. I still have a humming noise but the noise goes away if while driving I turn the wheel to the right and returns when I go straight or turn the wheel to the left is there something else I should look for?
thank you

there are three more wheel hub/ bearings. How did you decide to change the front right? Did you take the tire and brake off and try rolling the hub to listen, or just pick one?

no message from before said if I turn the wheel to the right and it quits making noise its that wheel due to taking the pressure off of the right side.
Just wondering if it could be the left
thanks for reply

that might work most of the time, but not a guarantee. I also had one front and one rear go out 10k miles apart. was hard to tell front from the back without testing.

I would never replace just one bearing per axle. They are not that hard to do, replace the other one and see if it helps.
