Can anybody know how much it will cost me to change my both front wheel bearing?

olds alero 2.4 1999 model,,any help will do ,annoying sound when driving and when turning right its fine but when moving straight i heard the sound again,,,im thingkin of wheel bearing,,TYCan anybody know how much it will cost me to change my both front wheel bearing?
If you turn the wheel while driving and the noise changes, yes, I agree, its probably a wheel bearing, which is sold as a hub assembly. Be best to have someone diagnosis it for you to make sure what side its coming from, as they are expensive and you might not want to do both if only one is bad. Costs can vary, labor is usually around 100 dollars and the part can be around 150-250, per side,depending on the quality of the part, remember, cheaper isn't always better. I agree, if you decide to do it in yourself, it would be a lot cheaper, but shops like all businesses mark-up the part , selling parts at cost will put a shop out of business real quick, Good luckCan anybody know how much it will cost me to change my both front wheel bearing?
Front wheel bearing jobs for that car could run about $300 parts and labor for one side. The wheel bearings usually cost about 90 bucks each.Can anybody know how much it will cost me to change my both front wheel bearing?
You need to take it to someone who knows what they are listening to before you waste your money on parts that don't fix the problem. Thinking you know what the problem is can get expensive.Can anybody know how much it will cost me to change my both front wheel bearing?
That sounds like a bad wheel bearing to me.

You can purchase new wheel bearings for the front at http://mibearings.com/paypalparts/513137

They are $84 a piece.

Labor (unless you are going to do it yourself) is from $70 to $150 an hour and it generally takes about an hour for one bearing.

I hope that helps!
