[TR] TR4 wheel bearings?

[Tim I. Purdy]

For awhile, a few months, I have been experiencing a obnoxious whirring sound,
and am not sure where it originates.  When the engine idles  there is no
noise.. Once accelerating, from first to second all is well.  The sound , kind
of high pitch I guess, makes its presence, though not too pronounce, shift to
third and later  to fourth, its extremely loud. It makes one thinks everything
dry.  The other evening jacked up the car, checked the rear axle, etc, all oil
levels full.  Since when I purchased the car in 2003, I have never examined
the wheel bearings, my next project. Could this be the source of this noise,
or is it something else? Another new territory for me. I am so thankful to
have a forum like this.
