   so you have changed the bearing?
   
   If its a whining noise it could be the gearbox

   Jack it up, spin the wheel and hold the coil spring with finger and thumb...
   
   You can hear the bearing throigh the spring and fingers if it needs replacing!

   mine is same mate took it to garage and they said bearing noisy not gone yet though but would advise to change it to save it going and possibly causing other issues.
   
   if not when driving put foot to floor on clutch or take it out of gear to see if it still makes the noise if it does its more likely to be shaft or a bearing not the gearbox
