Yeah even though my miles are low (75k currently) I replaced both front wheel bearings last year even though only the right rear was the culprit of the annoying humming sound above 40 mph. I rebooted both axles on the outer joints with GKN Loebro boot kits, they had some cracks on the inner folds but were fine, probably had more life but while the axle was disconnected I did it preventatively.

You might want to consider doing them prevenatively, should only add an hour tops on both sides to do the outer boots and the kits are approx $20 apiece for GKN Loebro (OEM) boots.
