In my ever continuing saga of fixing stuff on my car before I sell it. (I do admit I'm starting to get "seller's" remorse - maybe I won't sell?) Wondering if my bearings are toast? I recently replaced the whole axle/bearing assembly on that side because the boots were disintigrating away. I thought the noise was the joints where they meet the wheel / transmission. If this is my wheel bearings making noise does anyone have a DIY with pics to fix this? P-car.com has one for 993's. I figure its fairly similar but the 928 is 17 yrs older and maybe a different design one its all apart?

That's probably it, if it fails Tony's parking brake test. My wheel bearing made a pretty terrible intermittent crunching noise. Took out the hub with it. I don't recall a DIY guide (the 993 is not similar enough), although people do it. The hard part is removing the old bearing and pressing in the new one. I did everything but that. The bearing is in the hub carrier(#9 in the first image). The hub carrier is held in by shaft #11 and bolt #17 in the second pic. So, you remove the brakes and rotor and other stuff in the way to get to this. Parking brakes too.
