noies in front end i think?

Hey all gurus, I have been havin a noise comin from the front end i believe for a while now. More noticable at higher speeds, specially at 67 mph. I am thinkin it is a wheel bearing but don't know how to tell for sure and don't wanna spend money i don't have on wrong thing. I notice it seems to go away or at least get alot quieter when turnin wheel to left slightly. It also does not go away when pushin breaks. I may be goin on a long 2 day trip to haul a horse for my cousin real soon and am a little worried. Any ideas?

After a drive feel the hubs on both front wheels and see if one is hotter than the other. You could also jack it up and turn it and see what it sounds and feels like.
