Hi on my xj i replaced both front wheel bearings not even a year ago and i have known that my front u-joints are kind of iffy...would bad u-joints make a humming sound around corners like wheel bearings do cause i don't want to do wheel bearings again their so expensive...

Wheel bearings would not be affected by turning, just speed, thats u joints.

^^X2. joints. replace the shaft seals while their out.

ok it just seems weird they dont seem to have any worse of play in them but ever since i replaced my lower control arm bushings have been hearing other noises so slowly working down the list

That's normal, new parts put more stress on the worn parts.

mcguyver_xj

yeah and if they were creating a significant problem smaller problems aren't seen

scbmx87

Correct. Mine did the same thing until all the bushings were new lol.

U should really get a move on figuring it out all wheel bearings have a one year replacement. Mine on my 95 went out every 6-8 months. That's because on offset 10" rims and 13.5" LDBs. But I can do them in 20 min flat. Lol.
