SOURCE: how to check front bearings on 2000 kia sportage
hi there, there are two ways to check your bearings, 1, is to jack up the vehicle so the wheel is free of the ground and to check for any play or roughness in the bearing by spinning the wheel, if the bearing is worn then you will hear a droning noise, 2 is to drive along a quiet road, at a speed where you can hear the noise, gently turn the steering from left to right so the vehile load is being shifted from one side to the other, if you have a wheel bearing fault the noise's pitch will alter,hope this helps

wheel bearings usually dont go at once, they progress. i would say to do it as soon as can so as not to risk ruining other parts like the wheel hub which is pressed into the bearing to support the wheel. approx. cost is $150 for bearing and about 1.5 hrs to complete. (all dependant on shop)

the size of socket ur looking for is 32mm & as for bearing i'm sure that its a complete bearing.

I have the same van there was a factory recall to repair the bearings in the front tires. If taken in to a kia dealer this problem will be repaired for free.
Sounds like you have a wheel bearing problem. Jack up the front end so wheels are off the ground. put your hand on the spring on the strut then turn the wheel with the other hand. If the bearing is bad you will feel the vibration/rough spot in the spring. Noise will get louder or diminish when you peed up or slow down.
