Default wheel bearings or what?

When I am moving at low speeds, downward of 5mph, I get a loud hum from the rear end of my 93 90S. Is that bad wheel bearings?
Thanks!

Default kick the wheel both ways, see if the sound intensity changes....

mine did, i.e. kicking the wheel left made it ultra loud cause it put more stress on that bad rear right wheel bearing, supposed to be PITA to change but shop did it for me for cheap

Sounds like a good possibility. Jack the whole front end up and start the car then put into gear. The front wheels should be turning. If you don't hear the sound then it is probably the bearings.
