The Result of my neglect the right front wheel berings frose up and the lug nuts rip right off and the tire went flying Into the Woods! Fourtunantly I was only doing 40 mph and I was in the left lane. SO VERY VERY LUCKY!

A bad wheel bearing can cause a grinding or roaring noise. The wheel could be loose causing a front end shake. Left unrepaired the bearing will eventually brake possibly causing an accident.
A bad wheel bearing usually causes the car to make a "crunching" sound when you are driving but especially when the brakes are applied. If in doubt have the brakes checked and your mechanic should find it. It is dangerous to let this go so get it fixed.
Raise the vehicle off the ground and check for play by applying hands to the front tires at 3 oclock and 9 oclock and push back and forth checking for play do the same at 12 o clock and 6 oclock both sides. without jacking the car road test vehicle with radio off etc for quiet, get on a lonely no traveled road or parking lot, at a steady 30 mph take a right turn then a left turn...listen for wheel bearing noise on these turns, a grinding sound, if it gets loud while turning to the right its the right bearing, same way test the left side.
1. Raise the car or just one corner at a time with a jack and place a suitable jack stand under the car in a designated area of the frame for supporting jack stands, this way you don't loose your hand or arm if the regular jack collapses.
2. Firmly grab the top and bottom of the tire that is raised and test to see if if the wheel wiggles up and down at all.
3. Lower car to the ground. Go to each wheel and repeat step 1-2-3. If the wheel wiggles then the bearing is bad.
You will most normally hear a "howling" noise from your wheel when you're driving.
Jack up the truck on the suspected wheel. Grab the wheel and pull it back and forth, side to side. If the wheel bearing is bad, you'll feel a little "play" in the wheel.
This also the method used to determine bad tie rods and control arms.
A grinding noise or shaking in the front end can be caused from a bad wheel bearing. Left unrepaired, the bearing can collapse and cause more front end damage.
