bad wheel bearing?

[rlabair]

you the man. thanks

[PiercedE30]

what about a metallic spinning noise? could it be a wheel bearing or could it be the metal backing shield rubbing against the rotor or something?

DaveCN,
You called it, it was the left rear bearing. Bought a couple of bearings from BMA for about $30. each, took it to my mechanic and he replaced the left bearing. $210. bucks later...smooth as silk with no whoomp, whoomp or vibration. Thanks for everybody's posts

That's it ??? $210 for the bearing labor?

How many hours does that turn out to be?

(this question is for anybody)

WTF.. Why all the moved threads from General Tech?

I certainly don't consider it a specific Brakes, Subframe or Arm problem.

Someone is getting move happy.

I would say it belongs in the engine & drivetrain forum (transmission and driveline subforum)
