Droning noise from the front at highway speeds

Hello,

I have this low droning kind of sound in '99 Legacy, which seem to be coming
from the front wheels starting at about 100 km/h. It disappears on the
curves bending left or when I simply steer slightly left at that speed,
which I did just for testing. Is it a right front wheel bearing or can it be
a drive axle?


Thanks,
/MM

CV joints spin too slowly to make a droning noise, generally.
