sounds like its wheel bearings to me!

its easy to stip down and remove the hub bearing assembly. from there take it to a shop and have them press out the new bearing and press in the new one.

that huge nut is what holds it on. dont use a impact wrench or you will destroy the cv joints and the bearing.

have wheel on the ground and turn it with a large breaker bar to break it free.
