Default Suspected wheel bearing... could it be anything else?

When I turn left, there's a rumbling/whining noise from the front right, it goes quiet as soon as you straighten up. No such noise turning right.

To me this is a cert to be the front right wheel bearing - what do you think?

I guess at 90K I'm due for one.

How much to replace?

Go to Indy shop, and you'll get the part and labour done for about $300 - $350

Default I just replaced mine 2 days ago. Same exact sound, it is gone now.

I would also do both of them, it has been my experience that for what ever reason, if you only replace one now, the other will go soon afterward. I always replace them in pairs.
