I’m hear a sound from the rear at 50+ mph, esp on flat but not newly asphalted roads.
I’m trying to decide whether it’s the rear wheel bearing or the CV Any tips on how to pinpoint the problem ? Can the source be I pointed by running the car on a lift ? |

I've never heard wheel bearings squeal. They make a lower droning/growling sound. A parking lot may not be fast enough to detect. On the highway at 30+ mph gently use the steering wheel to rock the car left and right to load each side of the car. If it growls when you steer left its the right side and vice versa. Could also be your gearbox.
