Im just in the middle of breaking i a new third member, so i got the back end on jack stands letting it run at idle in first gear, if i get close to my rear wheels i hear noise which sounds like a swishing sound from both bearings,i didnt replace them when i had the axles out because everything looked okay, is this sound normal because the wheel is off the ground, or am i wishful thinking.ps i did regrease the besrings
 
"swishing" suggests brake noise. Bad bearings roar. Pull the wheels and drums to hear bearing noise.
 
Stethesope on axle housing then backing plate. Swishing is brake shoes.
 
I hope it just the brakes ! Thanks guys

If it sounds like someone scrubbing the floor with a stiff brush it's the brakes.(normal)
If it sounds like someone rolling a cannon ball across concrete is a bearing. :D
