Be suspicious of a failing rear wheel bearing.

I've had several fail on my various 240s, and always first look for a pebble stuck between the rotor and brake pad.

Yes, it tends to happen more in colder weather. It's Nature's way of suggesting a heated garage.

If you can find a junked 240, you can toss the axle shaft (with bearing) from that car into your car. Be SURE to keep the bearing cup (which sits in the axle housing) with the bearing. So if you scrounge an axle w/bearing from a donor, also take the bearing cup.

The right 'n left axles are different.

Pack the bearing before use.
