    How can I tell if I have lost a front wheel bearing? Are there specific signs or systems that will tell me if my right front wheel bearing has gone out? My right front suspension is definitely sounding and acting differently than my left front and I could use some help tracking down the issues.

    I'm no mechanic, but one sign of identifying if it's your wheel bearings is that it will sound like you're in an airplane. The humming will increase with any increase in speed and vice versa. It might also be more apparent while turning in a specific direction than the other. There isn't any system alarm that will tell you that I know of.
