Do rear wheel bearings..and rear axle's have a diffrent sound when they are about to go out? I got a new wheelbearing and im about to get it replaced. But im fearing it could be the axle. Right now im HEaring a tone more like a Drone.,.

If they sound different, they ARE gone out.
Be more specific in describing your sound... under what conditions does it occur? Have you made any recent changes to your car?
