Allright, since I seem to be the only one responding (everybody is out having fun with their 'tops down', I guess): You should check your wheel bearing. Jack up the car, so the wheel can rotate freely. It is best to give it some clearance by taking out the brake pads or removing the caliper. If the wheel has any lateral/vertical movement, your bearing is shot. They are not hard to replace, but you need a press. There is a way around it: take the whole wheel hub off (balljoints, tie rod ends and all) and replace with a used one you think is better.
A first sign of a worn bearing can be that it gets hot after driving. I have a bad bearing that refuses to warm up. Strange.
