5g signs of rear wheel bearing gone bad?

Haven't been in a prelude in 7 years, it's got a straight through exhaust system, but sounds like a droning sound while car is moving, very similar to the droning sound I had in my old prelude when the wheel bearing went. Is there any way I can check if that's the issue?

Jack the wheel off the ground and try and move the wheel to see if there is any play in the bearing.

Jacking the car up and spinning the wheel would give you evidence enough if it sounds terrible.

Ahhh where would you guys recommending to get rear wheel bearing from? I remember them being stupidly expensive =( mine has had a 2ws conversion if that makes a difference?

RockAuto do them at amazingly cheap prices, though they'll come from the USA so expect postage and duty on top.
