You can tell whitch wheel is bad because if you turn to that direction you will feel that one side is leaning down more than the other
actually you can use a car jack, and jack up a side, and put your hand on the top of the wheel and bottom of the wheel and try to rock it, if it rocks then the bearing in loose or bad, and you can spin the wheel and if it hard to spin or makes a gring noise then it is bad. some times the axle bolt can be loose check that too.

How do you tell if you have bearing or a cv axle problem on a 2002 alero front wheel drive?
If you turn around a corner and you hear a grinding or clicking noise coming from the front wheels, you may have a CV axle problem. This grinding or clicking will be much worse when turning one direction than turning the other. If the noise is worse when turning left, the right CV axle is to blame, if the noise is worse when turning right, the problem is in the left CV axle. For a bad wheel bearing, you must raise the vehicle so the wheels are off the ground... Grab the tire firmly and try to wiggle it around. A bad wheel bearing will have a lot of play and will wiggle around, a good wheel bearing will be solid and will have very little or no play.

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.
