Suspected offside rear wheel bearing issue

[Jamsmoo]

Having never suffered from one gone bad I’m not 100% but I strongly suspect so looking for confirmation or correction before shelling out the best part of £100 Tps want for the wheel bearing.
Started as a slight growl/rumble when Corning /bends at speed on left hand turns (weight on offside)
Not too noticeable on my own or even with front seat passenger but got a lot worse and also started doing it in a straight line when accelerating when I had a backseat passenger on that particular side

I had a similar issue when I first got the car. Low level groaning noise coming from the front, seemed to be worse when cornering at speed. Left it for a couple of months until it got louder, took it into my mates garage and it was the front right wheel bearing. I did find it was slightly louder when fully loaded with people and kit.

Does anyone know the torque specs for the axle bolt and wheel bearing bolts please

The spin test holding the spring is key! I can't believe how often I have read that the loud bearing loaded is the bad one. Only to find out it isn't true. Mine was the opposite.
