Hello everyone I have a bit of an issue that I haven't dealt with before or could I find on Google. I bought a 99 Camaro a while back and put a lot of money in it getting it back on the road. Its my DD and I need it as my job relies on me driving her. So here is my issue:
I changed the rear wheel bearings due to a noise in the rear about a week after getting it on the road.
After about a few weeks I had to redo them as the noise returned and I thought maybe I didn't get them in straight or all the way. A few weeks later the noise has reappeared. I packed them with grease and I am at a loss on whats causing the noise in the rear end. I noticed when I changed the bearings that there was a low of 75-90w in the axle tubes around the bearings. Is there supposed to be seals in the rear end that keep the fluid from going that far?
I have to adjust my rear parking brakes but this sounds more like a bearing noise or maybe even something in the rear end. It sounds a bit like a roar but not as bad as I've heard in other cars with wheel bearing issues. I just want to figure out what this noise is and to fix it. It sounds like tire/wheel noise which is what keeps leading me back to the bearings.
Sorry if I rambled a bit or if some of my post is unclear in anyway. I'm trying to word it the best I can. Thanks in advance for any help.
