Wheel Bearing issue?

Anyone ever had to replace a wheel bearing? I have a low growl coming from the back, most noticeable at low speed, bit of vibration associated with it. I did some searching but didnt come up with much. Also I know this is a dumb question but what is the factory warranty mileage? Debating if I should just knock this out myself or let ford deal with it. Just hit 45k.

Dumb question…have you checked tires to make sure not worn out?

Brand new Pirellis put on about 2 months ago, tires look fine, no visible damage. Brakes are nearing replacement time but this feels more like a wheel bearing issue the way it acts. I can't feel it in the brake pedal.
