I've done both my rear bearings on my 2000S...

in the last year, along with all four CV Boots. I had the luxury of a lift and hydraulic press to r/r the bearings. I actually found the CV boot job to be easier and take a little less time (but very messy!).

I can't tell you if you can do this job yourself. There are a few decent DYI instructions on various forums.

I still would suspect your wheel bearing(s).

Can't say about boot, but wheel bearings are very DIY-able if you have the SIR tool.

I did mine.. and I'm in no way skilled mechanically, before buying my boxster I never even popped the hood to see the engine on my other cars.

It takes time, first wheel bearing took almost 6 hours for me, second one about 2hr.

Just take you time and read instructions carefully.. if something doesn't make sense.. re-read instructions.

You can do it
