New Rear Bearings

Noise started coming from the rear of the car. Checked the tires for uneven wear, and settled on the drivers side rear bearing going bad. Was glad I had my local mechanic replace the hub and bearing on both sides because he had to drill out a couple bolts in the process.

End result, I have to recalibrate my coasting distances! I started arriving at the lights/stops way too fast, and need to start coasting a lot farther from them. Guess the bearing was going silently bad for a while until it became noticeable. I'm really hoping this helps the city driving I've been doing lately.
