Ford Explorer Axle Problem

I have had a loud humming noise while driving my vehicle. It is also noticeable when making left turns or going around left curves. I had the front bearing replaced and aligned, which the garage thought was the problem; it has not gone away. Any suggestions on what else it might be?

check the axle joints for leakage,/wear. It should be teh right wheel bearing that was replaced. check rear bearing as well

Awesome, thanks!

They did replace the front left bearing, so it looks like I will be going back there to try and have this taken care of. Hopefully that is it.
