Have one that I think is making noise. Gentle turns don't seem to make a difference, but a harder swerve to the right might... or might not... it's hard to say. It's not real bad, and wind noise at 60mph and up mostly masks it. I can't pinpoint which corner of the car it's from, either. At times I think I can hear a low frequency rumble, but for the most part, it just sounds like a driveline noise. Put on new tires and no change to the sound, either.
I had the wheels off today, and so I pulled the drums and felt the rear hubs. RR I can feel just a bit of notchiness at times, and feels like a fair amount of drag in general (although it was below freezing). LR didn't have any notchy feeling. So I'm thinking that RR might be the culprit. Looking at prices though is a bit of a shock, ranging from $40 or so for low end up to $260 (see Pep Boys !) . Duralast is $70 or so; is that "good enough"? MOOG was $111.
If a proper hub is >$200 I'd rather wait until it got actually obnoxious (and/or buy used ones from salvage yards). Poking around in old threads makes me think the Duralast/Driveworks/etc are all made by different vendors at different times, so its a roll of the dice as to good or not. I'm not sure what the current status is on wheel bearings, if MOOG is "great".
