Thanks Curley,
I'm getting more of a roar - which made me think it was a tire
De-laminating. I haven't been in it since we got it back from the shop
(my prosthetic knee is broken and my Femur is fractured) but hope to
listen to the problem myself in early June.
Thanks for the comments --

the rear outer axle bearing is more of a rum-room-room sound, or
whump-whump-whump like a tire with slipped belts, but more grinding
than a bad tire it is kind of a low growl. It closer to the sound of
a starter turning over the engine. If you have a whine, that is from
the pinion gear in the diff. Try putting fresh gear lube in it and
drive. I had one in a front drive car that quieted down eventually.
The axle brg. is not that hard. take off the wheel carrier, take it
and the bearing to a good alignment or general repair shop and have
them press out the old, and push in the new.
Lucky it not a wagon. Those are priced like gold.
Or do like I did and buy a used wheel carrier.

I think it's one side but will have to ask. I'll have to check the
WSM to take a look at the Wheel; Carrier so I'll know what I'm
talking about...
Buy Euro has the rear bearings got <$80 ea.
Thx
Larry
