How noisy are rear drum brake hub bearings usually?
Our Clio gets very noisy from about 30mph. I popped off the rear wheels and took a quick vid... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NopbW8Qjjuk
The near side has a definite rumble to it when I spin it.
Are both sides shot?

You can't check movement as you did in the vid, you really need the wheel on and rock it top to bottom. That does sound noisy though.

Renault (Clio) bearings are less durable than st, so it wouldn't surprise me if the bearings are shot.
