Default Bearings and Driveshafts..

So I've had the bearings replaced on front of my mk2 focus but I still have the sounds of knackered bearings, like when speeding up there is a constant sort of whining rumble, same on braking and its constant at any sort of speed above 20.

Could it be the cv joints? If so are they straight forward jobs? It's really annoying me now.

First check oil level/colour, then check the inputs on each driveshaft for up and down movement allow for a little tolerance, then have it running on a ramp/axel stands in gear and have a listen
