Can a wheel bearing fail and not get hot?
Ive never seen it.
I went to back up rusty 2.0 today after work and heard a horrid crunching/scraping noise. By the time i got home (13 miles) it was accompined by a squeek.
I thought it was the trans/clutch at first. But i can shut the motor off and let it roll backwards down a hill and hear it even.
Im 99% sure its a bearing...but i felt the hub...cool as a cucumber.
If it is the bearing im gonna be pissed, its only got 6000 miles on it,
