Wheel Bearings howling

I have had my Cooper 's' for abot a year and a half and have run the odomometer from 24k to 60k. I just love this car.
It sounds like a wheel bearing is going on the front passanger wheel. Has anyone changed one of these?

RE: Wheel Bearings howling

Actually I have a "whirring" sound coming from my passenger rear wheel. It's been there since 20k miles. I have 42k now.

I haven't thought about replacing it yet.

It's a pretty common thing to fail on the MINI unfortunately. Especially if you're lowered.
