Wheel bearing failure

Not me.
 
No wheel bearing failure here but both outboard CV joints were making noise. CV joints failing has been more common but first I have heard of a wheel bearing failure. What were the symptoms?

Here is the noise on the CV joints (not mine):

So there was no noise. I felt a vibration on a high speed turn repeatedly that had not been there. Came in and jacked the car up. 3 wheels felt solid and the drivers rear had about an inch of wobble or play when you pulled on it. I am thinking it is a wheel bearing but have not had it on the lift yet.

Definitely the symptom of a wheel bearing. The S550 guys seem to see that issue often. First I have heard of a GT350 though.
