"keep in m ind that sometimes you think your hearing one side making noise, but its only a harmonic traveling through the drivetrain making it sound like its on the opposite side"
Symptom: Driving with hum from driver'* side. If wheel is turned to the right, the hum is eliminated or not as loud - wouldn't that indicate the left side?

yes when you turn right all the pressure shifts to the left wheel.
As far as the bearing, mine never had any play in them after regreasing.
I pried a number of them apart and the scoring was only on the top side of the race.
Now I don't even do that. Just press grease in and reverse the bearing = like new.
The right way to do it though is to replace the entire assembly with new.
I'm just not a remove and replace mechanic so take everything I say and divide by two.
LOL
