Best way to check out your bearings is as follows:

Put the back end of the car up on jack stands and chock the front wheels.
Grab tires at 12 and 6 and see if there's play.
Grab tires at 9 and 3 and see if there's play.

If you don't feel any play, try spinning the wheels with the motor out of gear and in neutral.

My bearings were just barely going out and the only way to hear the noise was for me to get in and start the motor and put it in gear and spin the wheels up to 30 mph and then cut the motor so my tech could listen to the spinning wheels up close...
