Victor,
I recently replaced a rear hub because the bearings were destroyed. I first
noticed a grinding noise coming from the left rear wheel. I took off the
half axile assemly and could see that that the > wheel base (the large
round metal plate where the brakes mount,
>etc.) did wobble. Your problem could be the wheel bearings, but I would
think you would here some awful noise coming from it.
Good luck,
Mike
