    A bad axle bearing will make a whirr - whirr - whirr noise when coasting.
    If it is bad, replace both.
    They are not expensive, and both have gone around about the same number of times.

    If you do the rear wheel bearings (if they are bad), let me know as I am curious how to replace them and the shop manual does not tell you how (unless I am blind). The housing & bearing are on the axle shaft and pressed in I believe. Special tools, heat, and a press are required IMO.
