Driving home from work today, I got about a 1/4 mile away when I heard a bang from the rear. Not a loud bang, but loud enough to hear over the radio. A quick look in the door mirror, I saw a piece of 2x1 lying on the road. Assuming it was that I had ran over, continued and thought no more of it.
I pulled away from the lights 300 yds later and a metal against metal sound appeared, disappearing over 10mph. I could feel the brakes binding and could hear the rear discs rubbing against the pads.
Quick check of the rear suspesion, I could see nothing obvious wrong, however there is quite a bit of play in the o/s/r wheel with the handbrake off (up and down, side to side).
Is my diagnosis of a collapsed wheel bearing correct or am I looking at something else.
thanks in advance
