Sound coming from rear: wump wump wump wump.... wheel bearing?
I've also got some groaning coming from the front passenger side corner.... I'm thinking it's a TRE or sway bushing.... the control arm bushings are all fine.
Engine is bomb proof ... I'm just working out the suspension maintaince gremlins.
Thanks for any reccomendations/suggestions.

If it's a humming noise and gets louder when you put load on the susp
then it's most def a wheel bearing. My suggestion is replace both as I had both going, one was just louder than the other so I had to replace them a week apart.

hmm that doesn't sound like a bad wheel bearing, might be a bad tire
like suggested above. If you can you can also jack up the rear of the car and see if there is any side/side play on the wheel. If so then wheel bearing is going.
