It started off sounding like the wheel is out of balance but I switched the tires around and the whopping sound is still there. My indy said that its a known weak link on our cars because of the weight on the rear wheels. The pcar, with 85K miles, is off to the shop for rear wheel bearing replacement next week..

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.

I had my right rear done a few months ago at about 90k miles.
May I ask how much you paid for the work done per wheel? Was it at an Indy or dealer?
Update: I paid $350 cash at my Indy for one wheel bearing replacement. Part cost is $108.73.

I was robbed!
Sorry bud. I wanted to post the number so people would know how much it costs for future reference.
Yup, I did both rears last winter about the same as Chao except x2. 890 Total Parts $225 Labor $625
Recently had the left rear done on my girlfriends '00 Boxster for about $350 parts and labor.
I did my passenger rear this winter, covered so unsure of cost.
