[ROVERNET - UK] noise from underneath

[Glen Wilson]

Henning,

I'm coming into this late, but has anyone mentioned the rear wheel 
bearings. I had a howling sound that sounded like tire noise. When I put 
a second set of used wheel bearings in the back, the noise completely 
disappeared. This noise was, however, more or less constant.
