Put the front of the car on jack stands so both front wheels are off the ground on a flat level surface.Put the ebrake on and put the car in neutral.Then put one hand on the coil spring and spin the tire as fast as you can with the other hand if the bearing is bad you should be able to feel the bad bearing in the coil spring.Compare each side to each other.
