Ford WindstarIntroduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.
Bad wheel bearing make a rumbling sound that gets worse on turns. However, that can also be a bad CV joint. If you can get it up in the air, grab the tire at 12:00 and 6:00 and push and pull top to bottom. Repeat at 3:00 and 9:00. If you see any movement at the hub, the bearing is bad. (The tire will flex, but that's not what you're looking for. You need to see movement of the wheel and hub)

Well, if it's that loud and that noticeable, it could be brake related. You should have this checked out sooner rather than later.
