Why does 1997 Ford Explorer make a loud roaring sound that two mechanics have said is bad wheel bearings and one other said is the transmission what should you do?

As it could be either of these problems try to get a second or thiri opinion. I as well own a 1997 Explorer and found it to be the wheel bearings, but as well found that original equipment manufacturered transmission is said to be "Not very good" by a local transmission shop.
