for the last week or so ive notice that when i drive over 30 theres a whining sound that im guessing is the wheel bearing from what ive read on here but how do i figure out which side is bad? or if thats even the problem?

Does it sound like you have snow tires on? Wheel Bearing is my guess.

No, I mean like if you change lanes in either direction, does the sound get softer or louder?
