Default Broken wheel bearing?

My driver tire squeeks really bad when I drive in a straight line, but when I turn left a bit it stops, but if I turn it to the right, it makes kind of a metal on metal rubbing sound. aaaand it's giving me death wabbles at about 50. I've checked my brakes and caliper to make sure it was tight and not rubbing and that's all ok. I'm faily certainly it's my wheel bearing so I'm going to swap out the whole hub and axle shack off a spare d30 I have. any ideas or help?

raise off the ground and wiggle the wheel and see if there is any play. Try at 7&2 and 3&9 areas.

If you are going to replace it do yourself a favor a buy a new quality part, also consider replacing both sides.
