hello all

What kind of noise? Wheel bearing is normally a rumble/drone kind of a noise.

Drive really slow with the window open to hear exactly where it's coming from.....

mine had a clicking noise from the right rear and turns out it was a little spring inside the handbrake drum that was rubbing....

If the noise goes much less or goes off when you take your foot off, suspect the diff.
