could be the wheel bearing (hub). its very common for them to go bad on our cars...

He should have a security light on if his hubs where going I think.

^^^yeah, true... when mine went out i didnt get the ABS, LOW TRAC lights until it finally just gave out, i was riding around w/ the humming for about a month prior to that...

On my first bearing they were on for almost 4-5 monts before I heard a noise. On the second one they came on only a month after I was hearing the noise lol.

I would go ahead and jack your car up and see if you can shake the wheel. If it seems really loose (you shouldn't beable to move the tire back and forth normally) I would see you need a new bearing on that side.

What my meck did was just hold the spring with one hand and turn the wheel with the other, you could feel the bearing rubbing really well that way.
