Rear axle bearings, '89 240 200

That's reassuring Bob. Got three of these little devils in the stable and I don't like failures with no warning.

Although, now that I think about it, I've had a light low frequency rumble for the last year at mid speeds. Not sensitive to throttle. Figured it was the center bearing and planned to replace it even though it felt fine when I replaced the front U-joint, attempting to cure the rumble. Didn't. So maybe I did get a warning? That'll be interesting to see.

Regardless, the other side will get replaced as a preventive measure since this is the car we use for traveling in the winter. Don't need any surprises on this level a couple thousand miles from home. I hate having to pay people to work on my car, even more than I hate letting them work on my car.
