[Biturbos4] Grinding Sound from rear during slow speed stop

[mattovr6 at aol.com]

It shouldn't be pads, they're about 20,000 miles old, but I'll pull 
them off and check them.  It's an odd sound, but it could be a wheel 
bearing.  How can you test those?  Can't you take the weight off of the 
wheels, and pull on the wheels and it'll have movement?  I'm going to 
pull it apart this afternoon to see if I can find what it is...

Thx for the help - matt

   pads are probably low.   there is no brake indicator for the rear 
pads.
Check them.

A wheel bearing should make constant noise at higher speeds. I just
replaced both rear wheel bearings on my car.
