Had noise in the rear. Replaced wheel bearings but it still makes a whining noise around turns. Not sure what else it could be. Thought maybe one of the new bearings was bad but we replaced again and it still makes the same sound. Thought about power steering but the noise is coming from the rear for sure. Its all while wheel drive.

SOURCE: rear wheel bearings whining

the rear nut is unlike most japanese cars where it must be torqued t ensure the bearing isnt too tight or loose. a 30mm socket on a 1inch air gun is needed to loosen and tighten the nut. you will lso need a circlip plies and a pnematic press to push out the bearing towards the circlip end. when the old bearing is out use it on top of the ne one and press it in until you feel resistance. replace the circlip and refit hub. retighten the nut. job done

check your harmonic balancer they where notorius for going bad on buicks.Remove the belt and grab the balancer and see if you can rock it back and forth by hand. if you can its the balancer

Wheel bearing is the most likely cause. Prob a 1.5-2 hour labor rate job in the shop.

SOURCE: Rear Wheel bearing needs to be replaced

the bearing has to be pressed in, quite the job even doing it at the shop- you will have to have some sort of press to press the bearing in.

Yes, and it probably is your wheel bearing. Hearing a sound like a chain dragging is classic. You may also hear a clicking noise or chain dragging noise when turning to the left or right.

Look under the car and see if the rubber boots that surround the axle near the tires are cracked and leaking grease. If so, it is almost a certainty that the bearings are bad as you have lost grease and thus lubrication to the bearings.

Good luck,
