hmmming sound from rear...should i align??
hey guys, a couple of hrs ago i decided to have some fun in the snow, i was at a parking lot with ice in it, and so i did some 180s and so on..... the thing is, at about the end, i did a 180 and then kept sliding right into a curb :doh: my rear right wheel hit the curb and went up it, i got out ok but now when i drive i can hear this low humming sound that comes from back there, depending how fast i'm going it will speed up or slow down its beat. I was wonding if u think i f***ed up my alignment or what i did, i checked the wheel and everthing looks fine the tire is a little scrapped. I have lifetime alignment on the car, i'm gonna allign it tom but wanted to know what else it could be.... thanks

i hit it going maybe 5 - 10 mph and i don't think i bent the rim becuase it didn't even touch the rim, the tire just got kinda scraped but its fine. plus i've never hit so i don't really have anything to compare it to

so i guess it's the wheel bearing..... is there a DIY in HAN on how to install a new wheel bearing to one of the rear wheels "i have all wheel disc btw" i dont know if that makes a difference. if there is please inform me, also i was wondering where i could get a new bearing, what prices i should expect and whatnot.
