Yaris 2007 sedan (auto) Transmission fluid change and rear wheel noise - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ok It's time for you to flush out the wheel bearing issue. If you remove the rear wheels and the brake drums, you can turn the rear axle stubs by hand to feel for play or roughness. I'm not sure about haw difficult Yaris rear wheel bearings are to replace, but I don't believe that they would be hard to replace. Sometimes brake drums can be rusted on, but if yours aren't, they will be easy to pull off. If the rear wheel bearings feel fine, you can test the front wheel bearings by turning the car while driving. Get the car making the noise, and turn left and then right. Listen for the noise to stop while making the turns. If the noise stops while turning left, the left front wheel bearing is bad. If the noise stops while turning right, the right front wheel bearing is bad. Changing front wheel bearings is not for the works in his drive-way lightweight goodwrench wanabe.
