Brickyard growl!

Welcome Indie,

Nice to see a new member coming on.

Taohog is spot on with the advice. As an enhancement, let down the rear seat back/s before driving away. There is no sound deadening in the trunk, so you can easily hear which wheel is making the noise.

It is possible both bearings could be gone, but this would be an unlucky co-incidence. In such case, fix the noisier one first.

Good luck with the fix, and make very, very sure the person fitting your bearing knows how to do it, the correct tools and correct grease, or else a strong chance of damaging the hub and subsequent more expensive failure is ahead of you.

Joe
