allright, so the only way to know if the hubs need replacing is too look at them once you get the bearings out?
the mechanic did say that he thought one side needed a new hub for sure, but he wasn't sure about the other side. If I asked him to just do the bearings and not worry about the hubs, would he do it...or if it's a bad hub, do you need to replace it. so i guess my question is: can you put new bearings in bad hubs, or would this be pointless? also, in response to saying the hubs could only be bad if i beat the crap out of them while pulling the bearings out...is this true? or could they just be bad from having the bad bearings in too long? i think the humming noise has bee going on for about 8,000 miles now. how likely is it that both hubs are bad?
i got a quote from another reputable mechanic for $390 for both front bearings. but i may just hold out and check it with my dad first.
thanks again guys
