My right front wheel bearing "went" last year. It was gradual and at first I
thought it was tire/road noise, that whine-type noise. It got louder and
more pronounced and was pretty unmistakable. Driving the van slow, so
there's no wind or road noise, in a straight line will usually tell you. You
can move your head over to the right and left to see which side it's coming
from and usually diag. with certainty.

CV's usually pop and grind during turns, but unless pretty far gone, don't
complain too much going straight. They will pop and "thunk" when the van is
negotiating a load, like a steep, rocky road when offroading.
