jack up the car and spin the wheel, if the wheel makes a loud rolling sound then your bearings are probly gone, just take off the center cap, then pull out the greasy split pin, undo the wheel nut and theres ya bearings.

Mine were fucked cos the wheels would move side to side and make a clunking noise when i was driving. All that needed doin was repacking. They are about $80 for a new front or rear set, but cost a shitload to get put in by a mechanic if u dont know how. if they are on the drive wheels it would cost about $300 all up cos, but on the fronts would cost about $100 or so.
