If the noise changes when you turn (lane change) it's probably unit bearings (wheel bearings). If not you may want to check front differential bearings. If you can get it in the air you can listen to the bearings with a stethescope by putting it in 4 whl hi and having someone "drive" it at speed. Just watch carefully for moving parts!
