How do you know when the front wheel bearings need service lubrication or replacement. I have a 96 Windstar. I hear a low humming sound when it moves at slow speed its easier to hear.?

That is a sign of a bad wheel bearing. Have them inspected and repacked or replaced if need be. Note: these bearings are sealed and cannot be 'repacked' - like in the old days, or on rear drum brakes.
Note #2: the bearings are part of the hub/bearing assembly. An ambitious job, but certainly doable.
