Humming Sound

I too have a humming sound from the front of my 2006 lexus GS300 AWD with 162,000kms and I hope that it is the wheel bearing and not a transmission. Have my appointment schedule for next week. Does anyone know of the expected cost of a front wheel bearing replacement?

Did anyone mention Servo motors? ^^^^The cost of the front wheel bearings will be too much if you do it at the dealership, try independent certified mechanic. GL!
