wheel bearings

[jhono]

how likely is it for the rear wheel bearings to fail within weeks of each other

[martziniuk]

I would say likely as the fronts seem to go in pairs.

Mmmm i will answer my own question,and yes it is likely,replaced kerbside bearing couple of weeks ago mand within days the passenger side started to make a noise replaced today and,bliss silence is golden

What kind of noise is it?

I'm trying to work out if mine are going, I have no movement as its just passed it's MOT but I do get a wurring noise, more noticeable above around 50mph and goes when I turn the wheels slightly to the left.

Does this sound like a bearing?

Could be uneven wear on the rear tyres, bit of a trait with these cars!

I had it on my old car and my dad had it on his old Octavia too

My old R888s made such a noise.  It was the Wheel bearing 'wurrrrrr', hummmmm, however you want to describe it.  But so much louder 
So quiet now (apart from the solid engine mounts & Miltek  )
