HELP: noisy rear wheel sound (bearings?) on slammed bug
hi there
my swing axle bug has been slammed at the rear and now started to make a whirring sound from the rear wheels u can hear particularly when slowing
down, but not from braking. could this be that no oil is getting to the rear wheel bearings coz of massive negative camber? i jacked up the back for
an hour b4 driving today and the sound didnt seem to b there for a while but returned.
is there some way to get around this like sealed bearings?
wat damage am i doing if any?
help is much appreciated
sam

It's that easy? I don't need to worry about the oil from the grearbox/axe ltubes sloshing against the bearing and possibly mixing with the grease in
the 'sealed' bearing when i take the occasional hard corner?
(just covering all possibilities here..)

mine is/was rubbing on the inside of the right rear wheel....some bit sticking out of the car is rubbing lightly on it...and when i have adults in the
back, it rubs loudly.....but when its just the kids, it barely rubs at all.
