More strange noises. Wheel bearing?
The rumbling noise I get on the highway has gotten much louder, and now the car shakes between 50-65 MPH. The shaking is much worse under acceleration, is MPH specific and does not go away when I press in the clutch.
My "new to RWD" diagnosis is wheel bearing.
I understand the rears are pressed in. What's the easiest and cheapest way to replace these? Get new rear bearings for $20 some a piece and take them and the hubs to a machine shop?

Yes, thank you. I understand how to use the search feature.
I went ahead and ordered em through autozone. $29.99 per wheel minus 30% discount=really not that bad.
I hope the machine shop doesn't bend me over a chair putting em in though.

If you're going to keep referring to me in threads, please link me so I can at least correct the misinformation... Or just refer to me as "a friend." Kthx.
I did rear wheel bearings on a Daihatsu, which involved pulling the rear drums, taking them into a machine shop with the new bearings, and coming back in an hour and a half.
The bearings (set of 4 - inner + outer on each side) were $70, total. The machine shop time was $15, and they greased the bearings for me.
