A bad wheel bearing would sound like a loud humming noise together with vibration. If it is a bad wheel bearing you will need to change it. To change a rear wheel bearing in this vehicle you will need to lift and safely support the vehicle.Then remove the wheel and tire assembly. Remove the brake drum. Remove the dust cap from the center of the hub by prying it off. Remove the large bearing nut. The bearing should pull straight off. Install is the reverse of removal. The large bearing nut is tightened with a torque wrench to 120 ftlbs of torque.

a wheel bearing could fale suddenly but normaly they rummbel for a time first, look at your tyers to see if its not thrown a tred off or has a rock stuck in the treds
a wheel bearing will grumble when its got the wate of the car on it,, turning to the side with the worn bearing will make it go quiet putting more load on it and it gets noisy

make sure its not the brakes, sometimes it could be the rotors/ drums. remove rear rotor /drum , spin rear hub and try to pin point the noise, good luck.

I hadn't thought of that, as the sound became intense, only as my speed increased. However, your advice appears to be great. Thanks.

Jack up the rear of the car and try wiggling the wheels. They should be fairly tight.

It could be a bearing going out, depends on the noise, but I wouldn't start changing right away. You also have braking components back there. Identify which side it is coming from and eliminate the possibility of a brake issue before you begin the task of bearing replacement. Just makes good sense! Good Luck, I hope this is helpful!

- When your bearings are failing, usually the first thing that you will notice is the tell tail whine that comes from the offending wheel. Secondly, as the bearing gets worse, you may notice heat build up in the area. Once this starts it is a matter of time until you have wheel ceasure, "lock up". If it is allowed to get this bad, you may have to replace other components as well. Good Luck!Yes
