As the title says. I am going to replace my brake rotors, as they are worn. Do I need to replace my wheel bearings as well? Is there a simple test to see if they are good to go as they are?

As the title says. I am going to replace my brake rotors, as they are worn. Do I need to replace my wheel bearings as well? Is there a simple test to see if they are good to go as they are? front or rear or both? if the bearings are still quiet, the shakedown test works fairly well. also, do the slow turn thing and listen for noise from the bearing ... the rotors can be replaced without changing the bearing. when was the last time you got new wheel bearings? if the answer is "dunno", now is probably a good time to replace them as well ...
