Are you sure its a bearing? Bearings normally dont squeak. They usually make a low humming/whining/growling sound that is constant. Squeaking makes be think of brakes

No I am noy sure it is the bearings.Just jacked up my truck and I have no play in the wheels, and of course no squeaking.There is no noise when I apply the brake.It is hard to hear, I notice it after bumps or turning at slow speeds.I usually can only hear it if say driving down the side of a building or a fence something for the sound to bounce off of.
