Just plain :dunno:

Will probably wait until something falls off... ;)

It was the right rear - finally got loud enough to be sure. Bearing race was badly pitted.

I cannot believe the fronts bearings are harder to change than the rears. At the rear there is very little clearance to work on anything, even once the driveshaft is removed (which is a mission in itself!). At least on the front the access is better, even there is all the bearing driving to be done.

I guess I might find out one day - I hope it's not any day soon. :bustingup
