Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Rear Wheel Bearing Noise

The other wheel won't try to spin unless you have a limited slip (aka "posi", "positraction") differential. A '67 will not have limited slip.

How would that work. because it's RWD wouldn't the other rear wheel have to spin as well?

Easy to check :

Jack up _one_ rear wheel at a time , chock the other three wheels , start the engine and put it into gear , run it up to the same indicated speed you heard the noise at , if no noise , stop and jack up the other side rear wheel , this way only one wheel bearing is spinning during the test allowing pin pointing of the noise .

FWIW , most of the time it'll be the right rear (drive side) wheel that's kaput .

Rear wheel bearings don't usually need to be replaced. Are they making noise or what?

Here is a google search on the subject:

I have a 67 200d. This has drum brakes on the rear. I have already changed the bearings on the front which is disk brakes, so what should I expect to be different, or does anyone have experience changing bearings with drum brakes. Thanks.
