just wondering what the signs of wheel bearing failure are... can it fuck you up if ur travelling at speed ect...? (ie: how serious is it when one fails/busts/whateva happens to em...)

makes 'woosh woosh' sound when you turn corners (this is RWD car) - ignoring this sound leads to grinding sound when cornering - ignoring that results in continuous grinding sound followed sometime after by a thud/crunch/schreech when wheel comes off.

ignoring any badly worn bearing will result in some kind of failure - on an alternator it sounds like a sqealing kids toy, with a stub axle it usually results in an unpleasant car accident.

Can you replace the stock bearings with stronger items and the like........?

just buy new bearings from reliable spare parts shop, pack with proper wheel bearing grease (not generic black stuff) and install and seat as per manufacturer's instructions.
