when i have bearings out, i normally check them for play, to see hoe loose, floppy they are in their cage and on their race i believe its call, also check for scoreing, not sure if its the correct way, but i have had no dramas to date,

sound more like your tyres making that noise mate, when tyre start chopping out and ware un evenly they start making noises especialy when turning, try swapping tyres front to rear and see if its any beter, :D


wheel bearings will make noise in all directions, not just cornering
