Default Bearing type noise

Hello!
I've got what appears to be a bad front bearing. I don't know if it's left or right but it's very apparent when I turn left, almost quiet in a right turn. There is no wobble in the wheels both on the ground and when jacked up. All 4 wheels spin freely and are very quiet. No hub seems any warmer than the others. I'm fairly sure I can do the work myself, I've changed front bearings on my old Explorer and Escape. This is a 2002 Sebring 2.7L. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You have to replace the HUB. Very common. It has the bearings in it.

Remove caliper and rotor. 4 Bolts on the back of the spindle, one big bolt on the axle shaft. Tap the back of the hub with a hammer on 2 or 3 spots it will come right out....maybe in pieces

Just wondering if it's the left or right. Some web sites say noise while turning left indicates the right hub, some say the left hub. I found one the said you couldn't tell as the hub has an inner and outer bearing. I'm guessing the left as I can only replace one for now. Work has been fairly basic so far but I was a bit put off by the bolts on the back of the bearing - only 3 with a Torx like head but they came off easily with a 6 pt socket.
