I have an 81 subaru (rocky the warwagon) that has a noisy front end.
Specifically when turning. Now, I just had new CV axles put in, which could be the culprit. I wonder about the front bearings, though, since I've never seen them.
Is there a quick and easy check for wheel bearings? Rocking the tire back and forth or something, without having to pull apart the front? I have a jack and jackstands @ home, so getting it in the air is no problem.
Thanks.

P.S. If its the axles I have a warranty on them for a year, so thats a non-issue if it turns out to be the problem.
