Is this a car that you've previously done the bearings? I don't recall the service interval on front wheel bearings either, but I wouldn't bother with them if they aren't causing you any trouble and you have done it at some point in the past. Wheel bearing grease, bearings, and seals tend to last a long time if installed properly. I probably wouldn't tear into them until at least 48,000-60,000 miles or 5 years. t would jack up the car and check to make sure you have the right amount of end play and that the ball joints are good, ABS wires are undamaged, no obvious problems with the brake caliper/hose and if so just change the rotors and be done with it.
