An often overlooked item, even by skilled mechanics. These cast aluminum parts crack and the faults can be hard to see unless closely examined, particularly when caked with some road grime. The symptoms are similar to bad ball joints, i.e. noise and looseness in the front end. I just replaced the fifth one on my car (had an extra on hand) and in so doing noticed that it's mate is also starting to crack, so I will get to do the job again.
Changing wheels has nothing to do with wheel bearings - the bearings are part of the suspension system, not part of the wheel. Does the noise get worse when turning or decelerating? I would not suspect inner CV joints unless you have these symptoms.
