[Vwdiesel] 81 Rabbit - wheel bearings

[mark shepherd]

Do bad bearings klunk?
 Most IMO rumble...
CV joints can clunk. Faulty struts klunk... With rear taper bearings the 
stub axle can get damaged and become rough and too small....

shop just told me 'klunk' is wheel bearings in both rear wheels
pass side is much worse, but apparently driver's side is iffy too
they did not want to re-pack b/c they might be shot, and then 'big
money'
what's the best move here?
order new bearings for both sides and install?
any online how-to procedural anywhere?
I'd like to know exactly what to expect b/c this will be a driveway
operation at 10°f in 2' of snow
thanks all
