I'll definitely replace the rear one myself, especially at the price differential. I am wondering about other's cars, though. How many of you out there has had to replace any of your hubs because they became too loose to safely drive?I have cars with nearly 200,000 miles on them and have never needed to replace rear OR front wheel bearings or hubs. My warranty company says it's just "normal" wear. I say that's baloney. This isn't the '50s or '60s where wheel bearings needed constant attention to stay tight or survive for more than 50,000 miles. Also, they weren't loose like that last year, 6 months ago, or 4 months ago before my "tour". So, why the failure>Have any of you experienced this problem?
