yeah dude...there is a rear wheel bearing. I did a brake job on my ex's 626 once, and I tightened the hub nut too tight when I was done and I melted the bearing.. It was a bitch to get off and replace. Don't mess around with bearings..When it is hot smell and sniff and try to touch it...if that area smells hot your days are numbered..get that fixed!!! I dunno what other tell tale signs there are..My mechanic buddy used to say that it would sometimes sound like you had big knobby truck tires on the car...
Also...jack the car up (take off e-brake) and spin the wheel...it should spin somewhat freely..if it doesn't, again..u may need a bearing.

Sorry for the long post..I was thinking about ways to check it as I typed. cool
