Hope everyone hasn't left town, yet.
I was planning to on Monday, a long trip, but now not sure.
I have a slight ticking noise coming from the area of left rear wheel, noticeable when
coasting to a stop, in gear or out, speed-related. It started out as barely
noticeable, but now seems to be louder.
I have eliminated rocks in the treads, and the wheel cover and checked the wheel bolts
and CV bolts. A local VW mechanic jacked up that wheel and spun it, couldn't hear it,
but did say the bearings sounded "a little dry".
So, any suggestions? Will a "little dry" bearing make it 1,200 miles.
Thanks for any help.
