Default Help Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly

I just wanna know if anyone can tell how difficult it is to change. Mines bad in the rear left or right. Im about to jack her up outside and give it the wiggle test. Then maybe the dealer for an second opinion. But from what i researched its the wheel bearings. That whirl whirl sound with when moving. The only time it stops is when i turning to the right. It seams like it all started shortly after i changed my stock 17" to stock 18"s. So after hearing the noise i switched back to the 17s with michelins and same noise. Back to my question has anyone have advice on replacing (wbha). its a 2002 UL 123,000 .

The rear bearings are inside a complete press-in hub assembly. You will need a shop press to remove and install. Otherwise it is failry simple to do.

Yeah, the whole hub assembly is the way to go. About $130 each.
