This has been my experience. The first sign of a wheel bearing starting to go is uneven wear on the inside or outside edge of a tire. Every two or three inches or so around the tire edge you will see some cupping. The next step will be that if you turn the wheel by hand gently, with the car jacked up, you will feel a slight clicking. Next, you will hear a slight clicking as you go at idle speed down the road. Much, much later you will hear a squealing; just before the bearing seizes up. The torque wrench is a waste of time, way too insensitive.
