NEED ANSWERS ASAP!! wheel bearings
Ok so for anyone who has had there GS for a while give me some advice.
My front wheel bearing is dead. or at least thats what the guys at Firestone said. Basically I have replaced everything except the lower control arm no.1 on my car trying to end the horrible seizure effect at 65+ mph. I see that on Sewell they have the front wheel bearing for less then $60. I guess my question is:
- Is this all I should be worried about, just a simply bearing replacement? Or should I purchase the whole new front wheel hub assembly for like $140?
All help is really appreciated
here's the link to sewell:

What are the symptoms/noises hear when front hub assemblies/wheel bearings are bad?
I have replaced the lower ball joints and will replace the upper control arms next week, but I still have a "creaking" sound coming from the front wheels. I notice it mostly when driving slow and turning, but I suppose it could be doing it at higher speeds and I just can't hear it.

if the abs light never comes on then the hub is still working within tolerances .
do a search or atleast post in the suspension section as it doesn't sound like you replaced to daizen bushings.

Will you know if the bearing is worn, on my 99GS300 at very low speeds , like bumper to bumper traffic speeds , the car has a slight wobble.. now it isn't the tires or wheels , I have put them on a balancer an they run Straight , brakes are bad but again I feel even that is not enough to cause the wobble . Let me hear some opinions please .

Also, check your tires for tumors as well as your lugnuts.

need answers asap!!!
Is it wobbling while you're accelerating, or when you're braking? If its while you're braking, well then it could be your "bad brakes". Rotors could be warped; warped rotors will create a wobble. Testing joints is easy, raise the car and see if you can move them by hand. Grab the tire on each side and see if you can get it to move side to side and/or up and down.
Also, check your tires for tumors as well as your lugnuts.

After getting the car to a lift , I did some simply checks , such as shaking the wheels to see if there is play, come to find out , rack is leaking on both sides and there is a lot of excessive play in the driver side inner tie rod. Even tho brakes and rotors might be warped, I still have no clue why there is howling coming from the wheels if I'm going left or going right at a high speed ..
