I had the car up on a lift today. The rear wheel bearings don't seem to be the cause of the noise; there is no play when the wheels are tugged on. The CV boots are in good shape, too. The front bearings, however, do need to be repacked/replaced. Also turns out I need to replace the thermostat and the oil pan gasket as well. I can do the thermostat and possibly the bearings myself (provided it stops raining), but the oil pan will need to have its gasket repaced at a shop, since I have nothing to support the engine or transmission. Thanks for pointing out the bearings and CV boots to me. I wouldn't have known what to look for past the brakes.
