Subject:Wheel bearing vs. CV joints
From:Todd Last
Date:Fri, 3 May 2002 17:28:47 -0400

I have an '88 Westy with 150,00 miles and I'm hearing a noise coming from the right rear. The noise changes pitch with speed, and is louder under accelleration than when coasting - though it is still rather quiet. (e.g. you can't really hear it with the radio on.)

I'm thinking either wheelbearing or CV joint. Is there an easy way to diagnose which is causing the problem?
