Jack it up, get a good grip on the spindle/upright, and spin the wheel. You will be able to feel the vibration/roughness in the bad bearing. Compare it to the other side, and it will become 100% obvious which one is bad.
This method has never failed me
When you are driving, it is usually the side opposite of the direction you are steering that is bad when you hear or feel the noise. Usually the side that has the vehicles weight loaded onto it . This method sometimes fools me however.
Good luck.
