I've been getting a groaning noise while rolling, goes up in pitch as I'm going faster, still present if I'm coasting in neutral. I was starting to think transmission or differential, and checked the oil levels. Transmission was low (couldn't feel oil at the hole), but changed it and refilled it. Differential oil level was fine. On the test drive I found out if I make a hard turn to the right the noise goes away, so now I'm starting to think wheel bearings. Is there a a nice way of determining the health of them? I figured I could jack the front wheels and feel for excessive play, or repack and inspect them. How about the rears? I cleaned and repacked them once, but that's it.
