You could jack front end , remove wheel, caliper and rotor to see if you have any play when you try moving the hub by placing hands at 12 oclock and 6 o'clock and see if you have any movement in bearing and turn hub slowly to feel for rough spots.
Hope this helps

why do you need to replace wheel, and all the caboodle? simply jack the side, get your hands on 12 and six, and push/pull vigorously. if you have play or clunk, it's your bearing. If you have play or clunk with hands on 3 and 9, it's your tierods and tierod ends. GM says to replace hub with presence of ANY play in bearing.
It's roughly $170 for the hub, a large socket rented from a parts store, and about 20 minutes "on your knees" labor.
