excessive tire wear and wheel play. I had a rear bearing that made a knocking noise over bumps.
grab the tire and try to wiggle it back and forth from side to side, then top to bottom. If it wiggles both ways, then it's prob the wheel bearing.
If it only wiggles top to bottom, most likely a ball joint. If it wiggles only side to side, then most likely tie rod end.
If it is on the rear, it's the wheel bearing if it has play in any direction
