Bought the car 1 month ago. Had the front lined up. Was told lower ball joints had to be replced. I replaced the balls and the bearing hubs at that time and was able to get it a lined. Had tires replced. How I here a noise in the front, its like a hum-hum, when I get above 40 and get worst at higher speed I cannot tell if it is bearings or gears or cv shafts.

A humming noise usually indicates a wheel bearing issue. If the wheel bearings are bad, either they were not torqued to specs when installed or just a plain old defective part. Take it back to have it looked at. Any decent repair facility would warranty out the defective part and replace it free of charge to you.
