e braking in the snow maybe? Anyone know what the warranty is on a replacement rear wheel bearing if professionally installed?

misalignment, poorly balanced tire, nasty pothole.
most likely a badly balanced tire, look for missing wieghts.
of course the bearing could've been damaged during the install...or the grease was missing.

Wider tires, wheels that are pushed out wider, stiff suspension, ...
improper installation (damaged during installation, or the bolt was not torqued properly).. There are other reasons too I'm sure.

a droning sound
get up to highway speed and push in the clutch and listen. It's much more likley to be a wheel bearing than something with the diff. If you neglect it, it will get worse and worse. Eventually you will hear it more when you turn and it will be plenty loud even at lower speeds. Don't neglect it.
