one test is to... find an empty parking lot if possible, or a three lanes going your way deserted road...
get up to that 35 or so MPH, open both windows, neutral with clutch out (foot off the pedal) and do a series of coasting lane changes back and forth ( I told you deserted!) and listen to the noise, it will most likely change as you move back and forth, it's loading the bearing on one side and then unloading it as it does the other side and if it's going out you will hear it groan moan or generally complain. If this happens it's the wheel bearing. Which one you ask? Both of them should be replaced, every time I've done mine or for someone else it's only been a matter of months until the other one goes. Save a trip and do them both, the time your car will be in the shop is about the same and maybe you can bargin for a 2 fer price from the shop. everyone is looking for business...
