As soon as the car starts to move, it starts.  It gets loudest 85-90km/h.  Drops off a bit over 100km/h.
Running stock wheels/rims, lowered only 1.5, had the rear aligment TSB done, (well the equivalent, bought and installed the parts myself, had alignment and install checked by ford).

I'm guessing its a rear bearing, I hit a curb last winter on that side and destroyed the stock rim.  I figure I damaged a bearing or something.  Dunno how much it's going to cost, i'm worried.

I know some of you have ukered bearings from pressure washers and such, Could you describe the sound?

Can bearings be done at home or should i bite the bullet and have ford do it?

Sounds like your right, I used to go though front wheel bearings pretty quick on my Focus. I could best describe the sound as almost like a caliper is dragging, it's the same sort of low sound.
