Front wheel bearing?
Had free time on my hands, so I took my car to my independent shop just for a regular check up.
My mechanic noted that my left wheel bearing needs to be replaced due to excessive play lol.
How much does it cost to replace?

I don't have any of the symptoms. I would've never guessed that my wheel bearing needed replacement until my mechanic informed me. I guess I'll have it adjusted this week.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

wheel bearing kit costs ~$50/each at dealer and it is a DIY if you're not a complete n00b

That wheel bearing kit looks like the way to go... That looks like a great price. Last time I was at the stealership getting a transmission flush, they said that I should have my wheel bearing repacked. I get a rubbing noise out of my front right wheel.
You think I should use this kit or just have them repacked and adjusted. If I was to go with this kit, how easy is it. I do my own brakes, oil, MAF, etc., but don't even know where to start with this wheel bearing problem. Should I just buy this kit and take it to an indy shop? Thanks in advance.

i hear a squeaking sound when i initially start my car, mostly when the car is reversing out of the driveway, could this be a bearing problem? sound like its coming from the passenger rear.
