Noisy Rear Wheels/Tires...bearings maybe?

For a good while now, I've been hearing a noticeable (even with stereo on) groan/drone/rumble coming from the left rear wheel/tire. Even after having an alignment, balance, & rotation, I'm still hearing it. It dissipates (sp?) on right turns (at decent speed, like 20+mph).

Are talking bearings now? If so, what would tell me for sure?

Do you hear it even when you start to crawl?

I noticed you have a thread about when to replace suspension,,it may be your worn rear struts, I have 133k miles on original struts and having replaced next week, I think it is causing the noise I am getting,, a rattle type noise from the rear area.

I meant to say at speeds of at least 15-20mph on up....much noise.
