Will be a pretty cheap fix for ya then :waytogo:

So if it's the wheel bearings in the front then you'd have to replace the whole hub and if it's the rear you can just change the bearings? How hard is it to replace the bearings only in a wheel hub?

On the front you cannot just replace the bearings in the wheel hub. The bearings are packed in the hub and it's all one sealed unit.

What he says ^

The front is more expensive because it comes with a new ABS sensor

Ah I see. So the rear hub is different and the bearings are easily accessible?

Yes. The fronts aren't hard either. You just have to remove the wheels, brakes and take off the nut that's holding the hub on to replace it.

But yes, the rear is different.

I have no idea how to do a rear. I do not even see one on the site.
