Hyundai 1998 Elantra Growling sound from front

Sounds like there is two vote for the front wheel bearing ...but is it a RIGHT or LEFT ?
Anybody else ?

Thank you for all the info, now I need to decide which way to go.
However, meanwhile I a need to drive this car, I do not drive it on the highway, just in the city with 50-60 km speed.
I would like to know if driving in this condition:
1)Would cause damage to other parts, so more parts would need to be replaced?
2)How long can I drive car in this condition?
3)Would the bearing eventually completely seize up?

Thanks!

Thanks for all the info, I need to think about what to do

Meanwhile I keep driving the car as it is (bothersome noise), but only at low speed in the city.

1)Would this cause damage to additional part so repair would cost more?

2)How long before something catastrophic happens to the bearing?

3)Would it seize up or fall a part ?

To make the final diagnosis, I raised the right-front of the car, turned tires by hand, shaked it by holding at 12/6 o'clock position then started engine and run it in different gears and speed, so I was able to listen closely the noise.
I did not detect any loosenes, but when it was running, there was some serious grinding going on there, and I agree, that it needs to be fixed immediately.
Already booked the earliest appointment to a local Hyundai service, the estimated cost to change the bearing is $247+tax.It looks like 2 hrs labour + cost of bearing ($70-80).
Hopefully, the hub is still good, otherwise this repair would get more expensive.
Thank again for all the replies !

I believe my daughter's 2003 Elantra is displaying the same problem. Awful noise that only goes away when you turn, even slightly, to the right or when you stop.



What solutions have been proposed?
