    Two weeks ago I noticed some squeaks coming from the RL wheel, depending on the speed of wheel rotation. It was not hearable from the outside, but inside the car that noise was leaving me seriously restless.
    I decided to find and solve this. First i thought, that brakes will be the source of the problem, but after check there was nothing wrong.I removed the calipers, brake disc, then I loose the nut holding the drive shaft to the hub and the problem becomes obvious - the bearing has been damaged due to jamming of the inner row of balls - that makes the noise as the hub was scrubbing inside of the jammed ring, together with the visible damage of the other part of the bearing - see photos.
    I replaced the damaged bearing with new one - very easy DIY - and problem fixed.
