Are you doing the repair?

You can get just the bearing, but you will need a hydrolic press and press tools.

Best bet is to get the wheel hub assembly which comes with a new bearing. If you are mechanically inclined, it shouldnt be hard.

appartently, wheel bearings are not uncommon failures on these cars. I just got mine back from the dealer after replacing the right front (under warranty). I was quoted $495 (p&l) at a local shop but decided to take it down to the dealer (170 miles away) so they could do a couple other little items. If you are going to do it yourself, the hub ass'y is going to be around $200 (from the dealer). However, I must say there is a HUGE difference in performance with mine now! Wow, that bad bearing was really robbing a lot of power (as if driving with a brake dragging)
