Hi. I am considering buying a 1994 non turbo 940 sedan with just 156,000 miles. Test drove fine except for a noise from rear at speeds above 35mph. Sounded to be from passenger rear wheel side. The seller thought it probably just needs bearing replaced. Could this be so ? How expensive / hard to do of a job is this ? Also what else should I check out with this car ? I am very familiar with both 240 & 740 models owning one of each. By the way price is $1350 which seems fair enough. Thanks in advance for your feedback & advice. I might end up becoming a regular over here in 900 area.

Seems like a good deal if everything works at this point. I'm sure you know what to look for. I've never done rear bearings, but I understand it isn't too difficult. There are two types of rear wheel bearings on the 940; you might want to look into that. You would likely need to have someone do the pressing in and out for you.

It may not be the bearing, but rather a tight u-joint

We need more regulars here
