    I know I have a bad alingment problem due to slight twist in the lower rear frame. Last night I entered the the car is a car show and I noticed a scraping sound about the time I arrived at the show. On the the way back from the show slightly just befor I returned home the noise again appered at low speed again. The distance is about 20 miles each way.
    The noise sounds like a scraping sound from the left rear wheel and goes away at 15 MPH. It sounds like metal scraping. The brakes are new, Under 1000 miles so not a rotor scraping problem.

    Experienced the same problem on my 355 last November. Turned out to be a bearing just as you suspect. Cause of mine may have been a slightly bent wheel. Could not see that the wheel was bent, but after replacing the bearing Ferrari of Beverly Hills could not balance the wheel. Replaced the wheel too and now all is well. Cost of the bearing including labor was about $1,200 as I recall.

    As a footnote, Ferrari Beverly Hills indicated loss of this bearing is highly unusual in cars that are not tracked.

    The center nut that tightens the plate had come completly undone, problem solved.
