    So, the last month or so I’ve noticed a slight ‘hum’ (at higher speeds specifically), that sounds like its coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle...ish (2010 Tacoma). Thought maybe it was my tires but, the hum goes away when I turn LEFT. Does not change when I turn right however. Boots and everything seem to be in order, and I haven’t noticed anything abnormal besides the noise. Any ideas/words of wisdom/warnings?? THANKS!!!

    because it don't know the words

    sounds like a wheel bearing could be going out, I did one a few months ago on mine after it kept doing it for two months before any bearing play was noticed

    also my brake pedal went a bit lower once it got worse

    I sounds like a wheel bearing. I would guess that it's the driver's side though. Usually (not always) the side with the bad bearing will quiet down when unloaded. If you get the front tires off the ground, and spin the wheels, you should hear/feel the bad bearing.
