    Hey folks,

    Having symptoms that lead me to believe rear driver bearing is going out.

    Started by having a sensor throw code that says rear driver speed/abs sensor is dirty. Cleaned it, had metal shaving/grease of there.

    Code came back a few days later. Removed it and cleaned it again, had the same shavings on it.

    Will try the wobble test today and spin the wheel in neutral to see if there is any other sound.

    Any other dead giveaways? I read in other threads that this might not be a DIY garage with lack of tool deal. How much should I expect for this to cost?

    Reserected from the dead.
    If you use a mechanics ear (stethoscope type), you will be able to hear a bad bearing real easy.

    Even easier if you remove the pressure if the brake shoes off the drum.

    Not much in that hole except the bearing and the sensor. The metal pieces are coming from somewhere...
