Old C5 is making a noise that I think may be a rear hub bearing. Deb mostly drives it and a couple of weeks ago she mentioned it and we went for a drive around town and I could hear it but not define where it may be.
Today I had need to go to Kiama and this entailed use of our local test track - Kiama bends. Both directions I could hear a noise from the rear of the car but only on the way home was I able to concentrate enough to determine when it changed.
It seems to be coming from the right rear, BUT, on the way home in a left hand bend at 80ish km/h where the right rear wheel was loaded up the sound went away. As I straightened the steering into the next straight the sound resumed. So it has me confused as my experience is that loading a worn bearing makes the noise worse.
Now, it is IS a rear hub bearing, has anyone else replaced one and what was the rough cost and how hard was the job?
