Rear Wheel Bearing Kit

[Scooba_Steve]

Having knocked a curb recently I think I have an unhappy wheel bearing. Nothing is bent under the car - I was expecting a wonky lower arm but the wheel runs true.

I have a sort of throbbing sound that is loudest at about 30 mph that varies with speed and still occurs in neutral. I'm happy to try the wheel bearing as a fix initially but have got a lot of kit options to choose from.

I'd like to find the cheapest removal kit that will do the job properly - recommendations please.

Have you checked the tyre for damage,it sounds like a lump in the tyre.Wheel bearings tend to make a drone,increasing with the wheel speed.The noise goes when cornering so their is no load on that side.

Swapped wheels and put my summer set on, the curb kisser was KIA! There is a slight resistance when rotating by hand, almost like the brake dragging - happens at the same point on every rotation. I don't think the shield is rubbing and I slackened the pads all the way off so it's not those.
