Can anybody tell me if a bad (driver side) rear wheel bearing would make the car pull to the right.
Seems like when I drive around 8 - 10 miles, it starts to pull to the right a little.
Rear driver side hub is very warm to the touch, other side cool...
Thanks.

Yes it can, and also t could be an emergency brake or binding caliper on that wheel.
When a drivers side rear wheel has resistance turning, it will cause you to have to turn the wheel to the right to compensate for the drag.

Thanks for the info,
The car pulls to the right so I must have some other problem...
Your saying with a bad left rear bearing, you would have to steer to the right to compensate...

Whichever side the wheel wants to turn towards is the side with the problem, with no hands touching the wheel. The drag forces you to turn the wheel towards the opposite direction to compensate.
If the wheel turns itself to the left as you drive, then the problem is on the left.
