Yep, and I told the shop that I thought the sound came from and up and down
motion and not a rolling motion but couldn't acually tell. I really thought
it was the suspension because it mostly only happened on bumps. I was very
surprised when they said it was the rear wheel bearing.

Interesting. Mine seems to be bump-related. In fact, that's how I'm
more or less able to isolate it to the back of the car (ie, if I hit
an isolated ripple/frost heave, the sound occurs when the rear
suspension hits it and not the front). Did you see that as well?
