I am trying to diagnose what I believe may be a bad wheel bearing. I used to have access to a chassis ear to do this sort of thing, but I don't anymore. In any case the noise is related to speed and sounds like it's coming from the front left corner. The sound seems to get louder when I turn right, quieter when I turn left. There is no play in any of the bearings. I pulled all the wheels and brakes off the hub assmeblies to check for roughness or noise. The front left does seem to have a very small amount of roughness in it, but nothing too bad. It's also difficult to tell in the front due to it being connected to the drive axles.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to use to find out for sure which bearing is bad? I don't want to order the part until I am sure.
