Bad Hub Bearing?

Hey guys, I have a 95 GST with Eibach Sprtline springs and Tociko Illumina 5-way adjustable struts. There is a humming sound that comes from my rear driverside tire that is noticable when I am driving. It does not knock or make and noise besides a humm. Would that be a hub bearing?

You can check it by jacking up the back of the car and grabbing the top and bottom of the tire, then attempt to move it by pulling on the top of the tire then pulling on the bottom of the tire. if you feel any play, then it is your hub.

Thanks. What if there is not play? Can it still be a bad hub bearing or is there another problem?

It could be your brakes may be worn down enough to give you the warning sound when they get low. It could also be one of your calipers starting to go bad and lock up, or it could even still be your hub starting to go bad. It is unlikely that the hub does not move and it start making sounds. Any slight movement up or down, left or right on the hub means that the hub is bad. It could move 1mm and it mean that the hub is going bad.
