That's a possibility yes, as it is not a constant scrape sound. It is like it catches, something runs out, then catches again on the next rotation round.

Bitch of a job I am guessing? There is a smidge of noise that may well be bearing come to think of it :(
It's not too bad tbh. I replaced both rear hubs myself with no problems ;)

When this happened on my old lude I didn't think it would be the bearing because the scraping noise wasn't constant, only when I went round a bend. I checked everything else 1st and found no problems. As soon as I changed the hub the scraping noise disappeared 8-)

Jack your car up bud and give the wheel a good wobble ;)
