#1: rear wheel bearing Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2010 4:07 am ---- how can i tell if they need to replace?
atm i can hear high pitch noise coming from the back at all time and all speed, flat road/ bumpy road.
i suspect the bearing is gone, is that possible?

Mine showed up at the MOT. If you can hear the familiar drone then they are on their way, but depends on how many long journeys you do, how soon you want to change them. I sold my last car knowing that the bearings were noisy, but unless you had the rear load space cover (estate) open, you couldn't hear it.
Its a fairly easy DIY job, although getting the old bearings out can be a pain.

Cost me £30 including parts to get changed
