Okay I'll try to make a long story short.
My car makes a whirring noise. At speed, when I turn to the left its there. When I turn right it goes away.
I recently had issues while replacing my springs. Had to replace the whole rear arm. Stripped the welded nut on the lower arm that held the lower shock end. It was seized. I had the same issue with one of the bolts holding the rear hub to the arm. I had to bang a nut on the bolt end with a sledge hammer and socket to break free. I had the rear brake rotor still attached, but was careful and had it resting on wood and not my garage floor....I'm starting to wonder if the shock/banging of the sledge nicked my hub bearing since it was still attached.? I don't believe the rotor ever it the garage floor but I could be wrong. Maybe it did and that nicked the bearing?
Car was fine before the spring install and had it realigned after spring install.
Any body ever replace a rear hub bearing and how did you know that was the problem?
