    Hi,
    Started developing a sound in my '85 240DL. It appears to be from
    the right rear, a kind of groaning, low frequency, rumble? noise. The
    first time it happened, I pulled over, and swore that I could smell a
    burning odor from the right rear. I had my mechanic look at it, and he
    couldn't duplicate it, said it wasn't the brakes. It stopped for a
    bit, then restarted. It's intermittent. Could this be a wheel bearing
    problem? Can these bearings be repacked or need to be replaced?
    Approximate expense? Could it be anything else? Is it dangerous to be
    driving? Thanks.
