Theres a few ways, one you will hear a loud "roaring" or grinding sound when driving commonly known as a "roaring wheel bearing" another way is you can jack the car up and get the wheel off the ground and see if you can make it move up or down or back and forth "kind of a wobbling since motion" I hope this helps you.
