Default Grinding Front Right of truck

Okay guys my truck is as listed in my sig....its a 1998.5 24 valve with ABS rear but not ABS front....i was driving down the road and heard "squeak-squeak-squeak" and it immediately turned into a soft "grind-grind-grind" sound that is directly proportionate to my speed. It grinds harder going around a right hand turn and grinds softer going around left hand turns. I've searched the forum for funny noises in the front end everywhere and can't find anything. Any ideas?

sorry for the double post...i found out its my wheel bearings. there are four bolts that bolt to the rotor and when i went to loosen one of them it took no effort at all to loosen it. if i tightened all four of these bolts as tight as i could, would it re-seat the bearings to where i won't have to buy new ones?

EDIT: Ended up pulling entire axle and hoisting it up on the counter at advance and took the old one out there and put the new one in on their counter....new wheel bearings only $169, not bad
