Bad Wheel Bearing????
Hey all,
When I am slowing down and take a corner I can hear a loud sound coming from the drivers side rear. It sounds like rubbing, it is only in corners when going slow that I hear it. Does this sound like a possible bad wheel bearing (hub)?
Thanks, in advance.

Bearings will make more of a constant noise at any speed whereas the u-joints will sound off on acceleration/deceleration and turns.
If your bearings and u-joints are perfect and you still have a noise then look into this washer: This washer fits between the rear bearing and the yolk from the half shaft. It is metal with teflon coating.
That washer is part number 14076924 WASHER, WHL SPDL
Search the forums for that part number for detailed thread on installing them and what symptoms they cause when they wear.
