I believe that my driver's side rear wheel bearing is going bad... Tony in Whittier - Wednesday, 1 February, 2012, at 8:28:52 pm |
That's the corner that went bad on my 02 at around 90K miles. The noise though was not a high... MarcW - Wednesday, 1 February, 2012, at 9:36:08 pm |

Tony in Whittier
I hear a high pitched whine from this side when driving at a constant speed. My tires are newer, so it does not appear to be tire noise. Can I do more damage by driving the car in this condition?
How can I check into it further? I have checked front wheel bearings before by pushing and pulling the tire at the top and then both sides. Or, can I do something else by jacking up the car?
If it is bad, how about an approximate Indie cost? Should I replace both sides?
Thanks.
2000 S, ~93K miles.
That was my experience also.... Bruce In Philly (2000 S Boxster, now '09 C2S) - Thursday, 2 February, 2012, at 9:21:17 am |

Now that everyone mentions it, the sound was more like a deep rumble.... Tony in Whittier - Friday, 3 February, 2012, at 1:06:19 am |

I dropped my car off 4 hours ago to have the driver's side rear bearing checked! SMILIN - Wednesday, 1 February, 2012, at 11:29:10 pm |
