I had a noise coming from the rear of my car that sounded like something was loose clanking around in my trunk of something. When I would go over bumps something was rattling around. I looked all over the exhaust system and checked the CV joints and couldn't find anything loose. I even emptied everything out of the trunk including the jack. I jacked the car up and noticed that my passenger side rear wheel was loose...it had like 3/8" of play when I pulled on it from side to side. So I ordered a new SFK rear bearing and installed it. After installing the bearing there is still some play in it. Not like it was but I can still hear something loose just not as much. The driver side bearing I changed a few years ago is tight with no play. I remember that when I changed the passenger side there were marks on the retainer where it looked like the outside radius on the bearing had spun at some point....didn't pay much attention to it. I have ordered another bearing and I am getting ready to take it apart again. Has anyone ever had a problem like this with a rear bearing...any pointers?
