Re: diagnosing bad wheel bearing?

["Allyn" <amalventano1@home.com>]

I've got a bad rear right bearing(s), possibly due to bent stub axle, possibly due to 15x11 wheels
in back of car :).
difference can be told by the feel of vibration at highway speeds. mine has been going for a long
time, but didn't make any noise till after cincy (only vibration before).
