Signs of worn center support bearing?

[Andrew Pawlisz <apawlisz@tufts.edu>]

A couple days ago I begun to hear a rubbing/ shhh noise at very low
speeds.  The noise is most noticeable when coasting to a stop.  Its
perdiodicity seems higher than that of the wheels making me think that
whatever is making the noise is turning faster than the wheels.

The list of suspects include:
a. Brake pads.
b. Brake rotor shelds.
c. The shield under the right innver CV.
d. The center support bearing of the driveshaft.

The first three are easy to check.  However, I have no idea how to
inspect the center support bearing.  Could anyone give me some pointers?

Thanks
