Today I heard an oscillating high-pitched whine while driving. It varied with speed. I'm thinking rear wheel bearings - any thoughts?
If that's probably it, I'll pull them apart tomorrow and repack them. Any tips or tricks for that project? -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |

I'd say (not having actually done it), that it would probably be easier to remove the arms than leave them in place. For one thing, you don't have to touch the axles this way. Just pull the castle nuts and the pivot bolt, and the stub axle should just slide out of the hub, leaving the complete half-shaft/CV/stub axle assembly attached to the car.
