After loosing a wheel bearing in my 71 Caddy, in the desert out west, some 40 years ago, I always feel the wheel centers when I stop. Should you find a Hot one you are going to have a problem soon.

After a couple of hours of parking lot troubleshooting the car was towed to a local garage in a small town. The garage owner was Good People as evidenced by the two totally trick and immaculate Mk 1 VWs he had (a Golf Gti and a pickup truck). The front bearing had literally liquified and melted to the spindle. After hours of grinding and pressing and cutting and chiseling, the remnants of the bearing were out. An hour and a half round trip to get some new bearings and then reassembly was straightforward. We got to the hotel just in time for delicious dinner but sadly missed all the day's activities (relaxed floating down the river in two-man boats and a terrific buffet lunch) Weather is perfect, life couldn't be better....
