Default Newb front end question..

I have done some searching, but have not found what I am looking for. Here are the specifics:
1995 Blazer, 4wd, 120,000 miles, 4.3l auto
My truck makes a "humming" noise while turning left at hwy speeds. No noise while turning right or going straight ahead. There is no noticable feedback thru the steering wheel.
I knowhave a problem, but am not sure where to start.
TIA guys/gals
Cliff

Sounds like a wheel bearing starting to go on the right side. As you turn left, the weight shifts loading up the right tire more.

Thanks Guys
Is there a link to an online manual, or "How to"for the front end for torque specs etc. I hate "Clymer" series manuals and cannot afford a Chevy shop manual.
Thanks again for confirming my suspicions

Haynes manual has all the torque specs... I'd assume Chiltons does, as well...
