Does This Sound Like A Bad Pinion Bearing? My sons 02 Z28 (42K miles) has a sound coming from the rear of the car that is best descibed as a grinding sound. It starts at about 20 mph and will stop after dropping below 15 mph. Besides a pionion bearing, what else could it be? Thanks

Most likely bad pinion bearings. Should get louder with speed. We have a complete Master Timken Kit on our website....
