I hear a humming "wah wah wah" sound coming from the rear end that increases with vehicle speed. After jacking it up and putting it in neutral, I noticed that the driver side rear wheel is hard to turn throughout half of its rotation. The passenger wheel spins easily. Does this sound like an axle bearing problem? How can I verify?
