[DMCForum] More rear wheel-bearing nonsense

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After replacing a rear wheel bearing that I feared would wreck me on 
the way to Florida in February, it appears that I have replaced the 
wrong side. 

The noise never really diminished or stopped. In fact, it's changed 
subtly. Instead of a wow-wow-wow noise that increases/decreases in 
frequency with changes in speed, it seems to be a steady howling now.

There is no vibration. No wheels wiggle or have slop in them. The 
noise is definitely in the rear. Passengers listening say the 
driver's side. I can't quite tell, personally. I just drained and 
refilled the transmission. No metal filings were noted. The CV joint 
boots are totally sealed. No tears, no contamination.

I'm hoping I just guessed the wrong side when I installed the new 
bearing before. Any thoughts or suggestions?
