Hear a noise from rear of car. Has kind of a roar sound. Just repaired both back wheel bearings. Sounded like wheel bearings going out but can't be. What could possible be the problem?

Did you actually find a bad rear wheel bearing or just replace them because of the noise?You could have cupped rear tires or tire belt seperation worn out tires etc. They can sound a lot like a bad wheel bearing.
