Default CV Joint ?

Ok I think that I have a bad cv joint, im not sure maybe u guys could help

when im drivin down the road i hear a hummin noise that changed tones when I speed up or slow down, when I go over a bumpy section in a road, BUT the only time it makes the noise is when im turning to the right or if i just barely move the wheel to the right

it sounds like it is comin from the front drivers side

I was told from a buddy that it was the cv joint, another said bearing

if someone knows what it could possibly be i would appreciate the help

and if u had instructions on how to replace whatever it is

thank u soo much i just got my tax money so i would like to do it soon

It sounds like it is your left front wheel bearing, as when you turn right, you are loading the left front bearing more.
it shouldget quieter, when turning the wheel to the left.
if so,I'd suspect the left wheel bearing, do a search on replacing front wheel bearings. there is a good wright up there as how to do it.
They cost anywhere between$75-200 or so,just remember you get what you pay for.
Timken isaccepted as better if not the best.
but I have hadgood luck with RockAuto's online el cheapo's from china
Just my .02 cents worth--
