Just make sure they are straight across from each other.

To check a wheel bearing what my journeyman tought me was to put the car on a lift (or stands) and put the brake on then clamp the brake line on one side with vise grips, this keeps the brake engaged so no noise comes from that tire. Then take a stethoscope or a funnel with a hose and get someone to go about 50kms or if you want you can do it yourself if you have cruise. Put the stethoscope or ghetto listening device on the back of the hub where the wheel bearing is and listen for noise, there shouldnt be any at all if the bearing is good. If no noise then clamp off the other side and do the same to the other tire. The loudest one is the bad one.
