Wheel bearing concern...

i swear i'm becoming phobic about this car...

How do you ID a wheel bearing that is going? I've got a few months left on the warranty, so i want to get any problems fixed now while I don't have to pay...

suggestions?

its a rythmic thrumming that quickens with speed and gets louder around corners.

left side wheel bearing will get louder with right turns...vice-versa.

when mine went it was a whirring sound that got louder with increased speed

it was kinda similar to ridding in an airplane (prop). Mine were really bad :-)
