Bad Wheel Bearing
Recently my car had started making a noise and vibration from the front passenger wheel. I replaced the pads and rotors because I was told the rotor was warped beyond the point where I could turn it but that didn't fix the problem. Only thing I can think now is that its a wheel bearing and one of my instructors at my school (I go to a school for classic automotive restoration) said it was classic wheel bearing failure and that it was probably caused by the warped rotor vibrating it. My question is whether or not you can replace the wheel bearing without doing the whole hub. I searched and couldn't find anything definitive about whether or not the whole thing needed to be replaced.
According to Sewell Parts online, it looks like the hub/bearing are one piece. $252

Hello Russia! How did you find the wheel bearing for 120US$ OEM? I need one too. I am located in Stuttgart.
Today my Lexus dealer quoted me 430 Euro for the bearing only, which is 600 US$ for the material alone. Can you still find a good source? Thanks in advance, George

You should be able to find remanufactured ones at oreillys or autozone for cheap OR send your broken one in to be re manufactured.

They're $357 now I see, I was quoted like $550 at Lexus. Same issue passenger side. I'm not using it now due to a trip to Afghanistan and have yet to see any problem prior but after deployment I'll fix it. If you can do it yourself you'll definitely save on labor...

if these bearings fail permanently, so why not go for the cheapest on the market?

labour is the cheapest part, so you could go cheapest and change every year like brake pads.
does anyone know the OEM make? kanaka? koyo?
