Funny you should say that. On the way back from Nashville, we noticed a 
little noise coming from the rear of the G. It wasn't that repetitive noise 
one gets from a rear end going bad, but it was there nonetheless. As a 
preventative measure, we pulled the axles and sure enough one set of bearings 
was bad enough to have been making the noise. Now whether they were simply 
installed incorrectly three years ago, when the car was redone, or whether it 
was just a bad set of bearings, I do not know, but they are gone and new ones 
are there, complete with the other side as well. Now, Hopefully you are 
right and I can let them go forever, or at least for as long as I have the 
car.
