Kinda Confused (Wheel Bearing)

Ok, So I'm convinced that I have a bad wheel bearing, I just cant tell which one. I really FEEL like its on the Drivers side, but the noise goes away when I turn right, which would mean it was coming from the left passenger side, am I correct? I need to order this Bearing TODAY, so please help!

bearings

How many miles do you have on your vehicle? I usually repack bearings every 40K miles or so or when I replace brake pads. Why don't you remove them, clean and inspect, and if necessary, replace them with some good quality bearings available at most auto stores.

Jack up the truck and check the bearings yourself. Should be pretty easy. My buddys wheels were making noise and as soon as we jacked it up i put a hand on the tire and it wobbled back and forth. Not a good thing.
