Possible wheel bearing?

[burnmw]

I've got a loud humming noise from the passenger side when going around right hand bends. Now, I'm fairly certain that it's the bearing gone but there's no play either 3-9 or 12-6.

So, has anyone got any ideas what else it could be, before I have to go through the pain of replacing it.

The noise is louder at higher speeds, is non-existent whilst taking left hand bends/going straight and it doesn't matter what gear I'm in.

I've noticed that the drivers side CV boot has come loose and has lost most of it's grease, could that cause the noise? Or could it be perhaps the gearbox needs fresh oil? Only asking as these are both simple jobs, well, simpler than changing the bearing at least!
