the '95 Ford Thunderbird LX from my daughter, makes a deep and loud humming noise from the left wheel side while driving, as if the antilock brake ring grinds somewheret. When the car is on the jack, the wheel has no play. the sound is much louder in right curves, as in left curves. can this be anything different than the wheel bearings?

possible whyeel bearing but more likely power steering pump lacking fluid or going bad.if so should only sound by even the slightest turn of steering wheel and ok when perfectly straight.check fluid level and if not that jack wheel & try to move wheel.if sloppy get new bearings before driving very far as can loose wheel.those bearings should give a higher pitch squeeling and may have a greating noise like chrushed sand and felt in steering as well if real bad.
it was the bearing AND the steering pump, thank U
