Ok. Do you recommend an inexpensive yet warrantied eBay buy or name brand item? I found a set of two for $50 and a two year warranty on eBay.

And I jacked my car up again and check the wheels once more. Back left spins louder than the rest. So I guess thats it. Theres just no play right now. That can still be a bad bearing even though the bearing doesn't move improperly?

Yes. I had a 1998 rear wheel bearing getting real noisy with no looseness at all. In fact, when I had the brake caliiper off, the hub itself had just a bit higher friction & it had a "grinding" feel to it. But it was not loose & wobbling.

Thats exactly what it feels like. Funny thing, I finally get my exhaust perfect, nice, smooth and moderately quiet and then I get this wheel bearing that sounds louder than my exhaust. :P

But I think its definitely the bearing. Lets see how this repair goes. Thanks for your help JimBlake
