I had to change the front left one.
And as Tom said, if you can hear you will know when the bearing needs changing. It's very loud.

Changed my rear drivers side at bout 39k.
You can tell by the load whirring sound that builds up with speed but doesnt going away if the clutch is suppressed. Basically the faster you are going the louder it will be
