2002 Elantra. Possible rear bearing problem.

Good evening,

It's been about a week now when I'm driving to work and I hear this
high whine sound inside the car coming from the rear right. This
only happens when I'm turning left. On a straight the sound goes
away. When adjusting on the lane that requires to turn slight left
this very same sound occurs again in gradual pitches. I;ve heard it
once before a bit deeper and tone on my cavalier and it ended up
been the bearing on the front left side even though the sound was
emiting from the right.

If it is a bearing, Is it covered on the warranty. If not how much
can a job like this cost in total. Parts and Labour.

Can it be easily done by myself or special tools are needed and
such.

Thank you for the replies.

The rear hub bearing would be covered for 5 years/60k miles, so that'd
depend on the date of delivery of the vehicle and how far you've driven
it. But it doesn't particularly sound like a bearing. If you've got rear
disk brakes, I'd suspect that your rear pads are worn out and the wear
indicators are rubbing.

 

Well sad to say I have the good old standard drum & shoes for the
rear wheels. Also I'm about to pass my coverage by friday if keep
driving lol. Bad timing always happens in life. I'm no exception
been there before. I'll jack up the car and examine the debris
lining, shoes and clean out the collected debris and grease the back
plate and do a quick test.

Thanks for your input HyundaiTech.

My 95 Elantra has done manny manny freeway miles Still has the original
rear shoes at 150K. I would rather have drums on the rear. Raise &
support the rear, some times you can feel the bad bearing when turning the
wheel by hand
