Rear wheel noise ?, Bearing or CV ? Options

[jim_hoyland]

I’m hear a sound from the rear at 50+ mph, esp on flat but not newly asphalted roads.
I’m trying to decide whether it’s the rear wheel bearing or the CV
Any tips on how to pinpoint the problem ?
Can the source be I pointed by running the car on a lift ?

Jim my car is sitting under Matt's on the lift waiting for a new right wheel bearing.

CV's go clunk. Wheel bearings are more of a drown noise.
Because of the size/width of the rear bearings they really don't change sounds when you turn. When I lifted the car and turned the wheel it just felt kind of rough.

Thanks, drone noise is closer to the sound I hear. Ca that Bearing be replaced without pulling the trailing arm?

You probably don't remember selling me that tool that removes the bearing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Just a piece of all thread rod with some nuts and a plate, IIRC. I think I sold it at an old G&R after I purchased a press.
