Could also be a rear wheel bearing that is bad or way over due for a greasing. But that usually wouldn't be both sides, unless they were both bad.


I'd jack up the car (jack stands under the axle tubes), spin the wheels in the direction of forward travel, and listen for any odd noises or signs of dragging. Shake the tire in and out and see if there is any looseness, which could point to a loose taper.

If you have never repacked the rear axle bearings, then they are probably overdue.
