How do you tell if your wheel bearing is going bad?

What causes rear shocks on Ford Escape to go bad?
Both rear shocks and bushing went bad. Sounds like marbles rolling around in the back every time there was slight moisture on the shocks and you were accelerating from a stop, slowing to a stop, or taking a slow corner with some weight shift. Apparently seems like a pretty common issue with these Escapes since 2013, but was covered under warrenty.
What causes the rear suspension to make noise?
Rear suspension produces noise when driven at low speeds and suspension actuates. Condition is especially pronounced at low speeds when conditions are wet or when it is raining. Replacing rear shocks solved suspension noise problem.
Why does my Ford F150 shudder when I Turn Left?
I have a 2004 F150 2 wheel drive with 38,000 miles I have the same troubles with ours making the strong scrubbing noise from stop and only when turn left or right, pulled rear differential out found that it is caused by a soft bolt that ford puts in the spider gears it breaks and then creates extreme wear on gears and eventually ruins the rear end.

Why does the outside wheel rotate slower than the inside wheel?
The pair of driving wheels in a vehicle does not rotate at the same speed during a turn. In situations like this, the wheel on the turning side (inside wheel) rotates slower than its counterpart (outside wheel). This is made possible with the help of the rear differential’s side gears and spiders.
Why is my rear differential Howling under acceleration?
Howling under acceleration at various speeds, however, indicates that the gears are already worn out or are out of alignment or depth with each other. If rear differential noise occurs while accelerating the car only at a certain speed, it is likely because the gears have become worn due to overloading and lubrication failure.
