Yes, you have a wheel bearing but it is sealed. Change upon failure.

I hit a city titty with a low front left & took one out once upon a time.

The impact marred the race that the bearing spun in & made a god awful racket. Either you hear noise or wheel catches fire if it got really bad I guess.

You don't change them unless you have to.
