    I am not sure what kind of test you did, but I've never heard of checking a wheel bearing like that, nor would I reccomend it.

    Jack the car up, with the car in park and see if there is play in the front wheels. If so the hub is bad.

    You could have damaged the differential, but that's highly unlikely. Hums and Howls are noises that don't come from where they're coming from.

    I agree; not the safest way to search for the noise, I guess I got a little desperate because I don't think that it is the wheel bearing but I really hope that it is and I am going to recheck it tomorrow with the tips that you all have provided. I would never recommend that anyone search for a noise in the way that I did either however I was in a safe enviroment (my shop) and the car was tied down but I did put myself in harms way by getting my body close to a moving part and I should not have done that. I really don't want to swap parts for the sake of eventually discovering the problem and I am sure that most of you understand that.
