Now that I have this 86 245 up and running. I have hum from the rear of the car. It is speed dependent with or without clutch engaged. Im thinking of swapping drivelines with my other car to isolate the noise down to the rear axle. I checked the fluid and its clear. Notice in Bentley that the rear wheel bearing appear to be lubricated by grease and not rear axle fluid. True??

How common is rear wheel bearing failure? Typical mileage? This car has about 220K and was used by a family and it in great shape in all ways.
Another area it could be is forward pinion bearing.
I did try other tires and it didnt change.

Thanks for any information.

Mike
