normally you get a consant noise when driving, that gets louder with speed. then you check for bearing clearance or drag when turning the tire while on a jack stand.

Ok thanks, i am getting a howling sound from the wheels that increases with speed, also like a bunch of ticking noises like a bearing going out on the right side. Also, i grabbed the wheel at 6 and 12 o clock and there was a little play in them.
