Yes, You can hear them and it will make a low pitch growl. You can tell by turning the wheel and it getting louder when you turn, then quieter when you go straight. If you out the car up on a lift or jack and spin the wheel while the front is in neutral m you will hear it and feel it in the wheel , compare it to the other side.

The assembled by ECS kits are on sale right now , I would do both sides at the same time. I had one side go then down the road the other side went. Saves time.
