Default wheel bearings on FWD?

i heard a "rubbing sound in front passenger side tire assembly which corresponded with the tire rotation and after about 1/4 mi it disappeared on this rainy day. My question is does my '96 blazer have front whl bearings( I didn't think it did) ? Braking is even, no shimmy, not pulling rt or left. CV joints? I thought they would "click". Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

sounds like you need a new hub, does the noise change if you turn to the left or right?

Well, this morning, I did not hear a thing. Turning same thing; nothing. I am wondering if some rust/debris was on the rotor/pad that caused it. When a car is 13 y/o, I get alittle paranoid; but not to the point of replacing it $$$$! thanks for your time and response.
