after balancing and rotating the wheels front to back, I still have a slight vibration (110kph)coming thru the pedals/floor.

Passengers in the rear left seat also feel the vibration and it appears more noticeable in the pedals.

The bearing appears to be noisey, but it may be tire noise.

how do you check/replace rear bearings?

Is there another potential cause??

Missing/damaged centering/hub ring?
If you have these rings make sure they're made of metal.
If you don't have them make sure you don't need them (that the wheels fit snugly on the hub).

Tom do you have a factory spare wheel, if so try that on the car to see if the noise goes away.
Then this will tell you if it is the bearing or the wheel that has the problem.

hub rings could be the cause as most aftermarket rims dont have the correct hub size to fit the soarer hub.hence the wheel is sitting on the wheel studs instead of the hub.

common cause is this.

wheel bearing noise sounds like a whirry noise and is usually the bearings in the diff.mite be a good idea to check oil level in diff,
