Default Humming noise and vibration shifting

Hi There!

Im narrowing down my issue. i have a loud humming noice while driving that gets louder that I presume is my bearings. I will replace front right and left. Does everyone agree that the humming sound is the bearings?

Also, I have a vibration throughout the car when the car shifts gears from first to 2nd. Its an automatic 2002 s6o t5. Im narrowing it down to bad engine mounts. I would like to replace my mounts and I looked at FCP. How many mounts does the s60 have and which ones are they that I should buy? I sure hope thats the issue.

Any information is very much appreciated!

these cars are known for a lot of road noise coming from the front left.. I replaced my wheel bearing and noticed no change.

if it gets worse when turning then it most likely a wheel bearing, otherwise its the known issue with the first gen S60's a quieter tire might help.

for the vibration thing I'd recommend replacing the upper mount on the top and the transmission mount on the bottom center. both cheap parts can be had for $40 each from partsgeek.com .
