Default Bearings but not Bearings

So my 99 XJ8 just had the wheel bearings replaced by a reputable shop in my area, however I am still getting
a noise that sounds like a wheel bearing. Was potentially thinking the axle u joints? Anyone else have any ideas?

Did you replace the rears? Other forum members have noted bearing noise that
changed pitch with turning yet was in fact rear bearings.

Go back to the shop and let them check it it's easy to identify if it's bearing or not if they know what they're doing
