you should be able to isolate a bad wheel bearing by having the vehicle on a lift or if at home jacks to lift front first then rear of vehicle and feel for top and bottom of tire movement and then spin each wheel and listen for a metallic scrub sound. a good bearing will be quiet. If need be remove brake calipers and pads at each wheel to elimnate being fooled by brake pad normal scrub noise as wheel is spun. good luck!

I've had to replace both of mine within months of each other. take it to get a diagnostic done they can tell you which bearing it is.hope this helps

You'll hear a noise similar to...cats fighting? if a wheel bearing is going bad. Also, the car will tend to pull to the bad bearing side, if it's a front bearing. If you're hearing noises that aren't "cats fighting" yet, touching the suspected wheel (under any hubcap) with a wet rag (since it could be very hot), right after stopping, then checking temp of rag, can indicate a wheel bearing failure.
How can you tell if wheel bearing are bad 2005 Chevy classic?
Test drive the vehicle to see if a noise is present when the vehicle is in motion. heres how I do it ! jack one side of front of car up be sure tire is off the ground. start car with foot on the brake, leave foot on brake put it in gear. let off of brake real slow and the tire will spin.. have someone on outside by tire to listen if there is a noise. put back in park and do the other side wheel. this way the side you hear the grinding is the bad wheel. good-day !
