Re: rear wheel wobbly

Bearing's are either not bad or horrific depending on the car. Mine were a complete horror show, it took a 6' breaker bar to get some of the bolts loose. I don't know what sort of winter you get, but if they salt the roads you will be in for a rough time of it. If the underside of your car looks new, then it'll be an easier time. There are several how-to's all over this forum about replacing the rear bearings.

Do you get a loud noise from the rear when the car is driving? If the bearing is bad enough for the wheel to be wobbling around it would be roaring like a jet engine back there.
