Obvious diagnosis is rear left wheel bearing, however I changed it 2 times already and noise/vibration is still there, it feels better first few days after I change the bearing then it's getting worse.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi,
I have a noise and a vibration from the rear of the car going that drives me crazy. Here are the symptoms:
Noise: wheel bearing like noise, it feels sounds like a small rock is caught in the tire.
I did a wheel bearing test and if I turn right noise almost dissapears, if I turn left it's getting louder.
I can hear noise only at 45-60mph, slower then 45mph there is no noise, faster then 60mph tire noise covers everything.
Vibration: it's small.. again it feels like a small rock is caught in the tire and I can feel it, vibration is consistent througout the speed
Obvious diagnosis is rear left wheel bearing, however I changed it 2 times already and noise/vibration is still there, it feels better first few days after I change the bearing then it's getting worse. And by better I mean it's still there just not as prominent.
Car is 2000 base boxster with 72K miles and 18" factory wheels (no spacers).
I also aligned/balanced the tires a couple of times.
What else should I check... it's driving me crazy!
Thanks
Sasha
PS: there is no rock caught in the tire
I hit a massive pot hole over the weekend and a day or two later I end up with a big virbration under 60 mph that seems to lessen significantly once I'm at speed. At first I thought I had a tire issue so I pulled over, no problems with the tires. Somehow I got home without any drama. I bent something didn't I?
I replaced front motor mount 2k miles ago...
Any tips on what to look for when shopping for axle? is left/right interchangeable?
Are pre2000 axles different from 2000+ year?
Anyone has a suggestion on where to get one? (except pelicanparts 800$ is out of question right now
)
Thanks
Sasha
