wheels locking up on 4kq

[Doug Hill]

Hey listers,

	I'm having a dilemma with the rear wheels on my 87 4kq when it is cold 
outside (ie below freezing) they are  causing the car to slide around on ice 
and when the roads are dry it is like I am braking while driving at the same 
time. This started getting bad a few days ago I really noticed this morning 
while trying to drive over fresh snow and ice when I realized what was 
happening I found a semi dry spot and started in first gear at higher RPM's 
that seemed to cure it for the time being. I was wondering what suggestions 
you all might have as to what the cause may be. I am suspecting bad 
bearings, but I could be wrong. Is there any other way to tell if the 
bearings are bad?
TIA
