Ok...Here's the Symptoms of my Problem:
When Cruising at a Steady Speed, there is a constant noise. It sounds like a clunking noise, yet there is nothing rubbing. I checked the tires, etc and there is no rubbing.
It increases it's pace with speed.
The Sound goes away when the wheel is turned, or I am accelerating.
I believe it's the front wheel bearings, they have like 127,000 Miles on them.
Any Suggestions?

heres the way to check the bearings. Jack the car up and shake the wheel from top to bottom. If it wobbles, the bearings are bad. Dont do it from side to side because you will feel steering free play.
