I was convinced the rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced from the sound coming from the rear. Inspection with the 911 up on a lift showed the bearings were tight and smooth. I replaced the bearings and CV joints and the sound didn't go away. One day I happened to be on a fairly decent dirt road and noticed no rear "bearing" sound. That is when I realized the sound was coming from the rear tires. I replaced the rear tires and the sound went away. The good part is the rear wheel bearings and CV joints were replaced on my high mileage 911. Expensive lesson learned.
