Wheel bearings
My 2006 Base coupe threw a Service active traction light as well as ABS light. Right rear wheel started making a grinding sound. I replace rotor and pads. Rotor had signs of severe wear, but pads were fine. As I replaced wheel I noticed movement in wheel after tightening bolts. Noise is still there. I am not driving car until I can get this fixed. Is this the sign of a bad bearing? Any idea on cost of replacing (not at stealership)?

Search youtube for C6 wheel bearing videos. While not perfect, they give you the basics.
