- Wheel bearing is a "wear" item. Under normal driving with no water submersion or
huge pot holes etc etc, in my experience, it goes bad around ~ 160K-200K miles.

- The key thing with check wheel bearing is the brake caliper must be off and suspended.
If you are lazy and leave the brake caliper in situ, then it is almost impossible to tell the
difference between brake pad noise vs actual wheel bearing noise.
