Well, you picked a beauty to fix. I don't think that either a 2 or 4 wheel drive will make a difference. The biggest problem is that after you remove the axle from the car you need a special bearing removal tool, and a slide hammer to remove the bearing from the axle. Then you need a special bearing installation tool and a universal driver handle to install the new axle shaft bearing. And last, you need a axle pinion oil seal installation tool to install the oil seal. If you are not a skilled mechanic, I would suggest that you find a local reputable mechanic and let him do this repair for you.

Before searching on YouTube, etc. for a how-to video you will need to know different sorts of vehicles have different sorts of bearing with different methods of replacement.
A rear wheel drive vehicle with a beam axle is one type, a rear wheel drive with independent suspension is another type and a front wheel drive vehicle could have a third type. Some vehicles have unreplaceable bearings and a complete hub must be purchased.
The first type is difficult for the home mechanic due to the need to use a press and to shrink on the retaining collar.
Possible wheel bearing getting noisy. Most automotive repair shops will have a technician test drive the vehicle free of charge. A wheel bearing noise can be easily identified by a well trained tech
Sorry to say that it is not a quick fix. You will need to remove the transmission to replace the throwout bearing. Depends on which type of vehicle we are talking about. If it's a typical rear wheel drive vehicle you will need to remove the drive line or drive lines if it is a four wheel drive. If it's a transverse mounted engine the axle shafts have to be removed to drop the ******
Hello, Most likely you have broken Emergency brake pads trapped inside the inner rear Rotor or drum. There is also a possibility that a rear wheel bearing has collapsed especially if you have heard a whining noise while driving.
Since the Sable is a Front-wheel drive vehicle, the rear wheels have few parts. This will not cost as much to fix. The rear rotor/drum will need to be removed and the defective parts replaced. The rear rotor/drum will probably be bad along with needing pads or bearings.
The other rear wheel should be checked for damage too. I hope my solution is helpful to you.
rear wheel drive vehicle ,most likely cause is a wheel bearing but ?? rear wheel drive so ask a local mechanic to have a drive and confirm but it could also be a diff bearing
If ABS light is on,you still have base brakes,just like an older vehicle with no ABS.Not a problem,as a matter of fact I always disable the ABS on my vehicles because I don't like it.
The Constant Velocity (CV) joints are located on the inner and outer edges of the axle shaft. The axle shaft runs through the hub and bearing in the spindle.
A Front Wheel Drive Vehicle Can Have Two Types Of Rear Wheel Bearings: Serviceable Bearings, Or Nonserviceable, Sealed Bearings. When Sealed Bearings Fail, The Bolts Holding The Bearing And Hub To The Axel Or Control Arm Must Be Removed. When Installing The New Bearing Assembly, Torque The Bolts To Specifications.Some Manufacturers require The Use Of New Fasteners When Rear Bearings And Hubs Are Replaced.
When A Serviceable Wheel Bearing Is Used, The Bearing Can Be Disassembled And Packed With Grease.It Is Serviced Like A Front Wheel Bearing On A Rear-wheel-Drive-Car.
