Get the car up to speed (100 mph) on the freeway for about twenty minutes using the brakes as little as possible. Coast off the road and and carefully reach into each wheel and check the hub temp. If one hub is hot, suspect the bearing.

Take off all the wheels and put a stethoscope on each hub and rotate. If you have a bad bearing it will sound different from the rest.
