I just purchased a 2002 Impala and it has a humming sound coming from the front end, it seems to go away when you turn to the right. Any ideas ?

Wheel bearing. Note that the bolt-on style is impossible to tell which side is bad even though it sounds like the noise is coming from one side. You must run it in gear when jacked up, then listen next to each one with a stethoscope.
