Loud humming noise from 2002 Pontiac Montana 78k miles?

[ShawnW]

I have a very loud humming noise coming from the front end of my van. I notice it when I get to about 40 mph. If I put the car in neutral the noise is still there, it does not change. When I turn slightly to the right it stops. Driving straight or to the left it is still there. I have been driving with it like this for two weeks. Money is tight and I am worried it may cause an accident. Am I okay to continue driving? Any ideas? Thank you for your help. Shawn

You my have a wheel bearing going bad, or a CV axle going out. I would have it checked ASAP before you have a W-R-E-C-K and become DOA!

Sounds like it might be a piece on one of your front wheel drive shafts. I'd suggest getting a pro to look at it. This unfortunately might be expensive.
