Question wheel bearing ?????

There is a constant "growling" sound coming from the right rear. I tried the jiggle test and there is some play in the wheel. So I think that it is the wheel bearing? Could it be anything else? Is there any kind of step by step instructions out there somewhere. Thanks for any input or help!

Im dealing with the same thing this weekend. I thought it was wheel bearings, but it turned out to be the differential bearings after i unbolted the main caps and pulled it out. The left side bearing was all chewed up and the right side was just starting. I guess the left side has a reputation for going out.

My wheel bearings looked fine, but im still replacing them since i got the axles and rear apart anyway. GoodLuck

Mine had a whine when deaccelerating at least thats when i could hear it over my exhaust, I think it turned out to be bad wheel bearings.
