Rear wheel squealing

[wrs986]

I’ll get it upon a jack later this week and check the bearing. If it is the bearing I should have play in the wheel correct? Also when I spin the wheel by hand I should hear something? Maybe the previous owner knew about the wheel bearing and didn’t want to spend the $400+ on the repair since he was selling it.

First question: Not always.

to replace the rear bearings, if you remove first the half shaft you don't have to remove the hub carrier, this way you don't risk damaging the ball joint rubber booth and you will not require an alignment..
