Generally when the bearing is starting to go it will be noisy and you can change the pitch of the noise by steering the car slightly left to right while driving at 50 mph.If there is no noise then get a second opinion but don't continue to drive it without having this checked out.

How do you know which hub bearing is bad?
I have that problem right now. What I did was ascertain through hearing and feel that it was one of the front bearings. As a general rule--you never replace just one bearing. Either the two front or the two rear. Short of actually removing each bearing, this is your only option--unless you want to pay the bucks for a crackerjack mechanic; and if you do take bearings out--you never replace with the same old bearing--always new. Bad wheel bearings usually make noise. Try to listed to where the noise comes from.
