Mysterious Rear Noise

Ciao Tutti,
Lucky me, gotta '70 Ghia vert here in bella Italia BUT - comming back from a 1200 mile trip in the dolomites I started to hear/feel a moaning sound that seemed to come from the left rear. Was almost indescernable at first but is louder now. If you turn the steering wheel slightly left, it goes away - slightly right - it gets louder. It's accompanied by a high frequency vibe - feels like putting your hand on a running electrical device.
Have I got a LR wheel bearing going bad? CV joint?
Checked the haynes manual but it was silent on replacement of rear wheel bearings......
Help!
