I just bought my daughter a 97 Celica ST Limited Edition. Im trying to pin point a noise that I get when going above 40 mph but very prominent at 70. I get a thumping type noise that sound like a tire that was rotated and cupped but the tires (though needing to be replaced due to not much tread left) seem to be evenly worn. Could this be a wheel bearing. Im more use to a bearing making a roaring type noise.

you could always jack it up and place ur hands at 9 and 3, then push in and out if you can its highly likely you have a bearing problem
you can get them + seals from advanced auto fairly cheap and have a local mechanic install them as well
