Default help needed on wheel bearing

I've done some search on this topic, however, i didn't find the answers that i want.

I have the same problem as a few ppl in this forum had before, when i drive, i can hear some wind blowing noise from the back, and i was told that my wheel bearing has problem.

I was also told that it will cost me $200 for the parts, and $100 installation. But when i did a search on the internet, i found that the bearing sells for only $50 something. so i asked some people on another forum, they also told me that bearing should cost around $200 ( i am not sure if the $50 and the $200 are the same bearing.. maybe they are different ). I dont' have that kinda $$ to spend on just one wheel, so can someone plz tell me whats the part number for the rear passenger side wheel bearing, and how much will it acutally cost ?? Also, all i need to fix up the wheel bearing is the bearing itself right?? any extra parts thats necessary for this job??

Well my bearings from Autozone were 60-70 a piece. I would personally recommend others or Honda bearings, not sure on the cost. The ones i got from Autozone only lasted me a week or two and they don't have any kind of warranty. You could try them out and hopefully have better luck with them.

Also good luck getting the bearings off, they are a major PITA.

I 'm not sure about a difference, and if you don't get it fixed your car will ride like ****. On my car they got so bad the wheels would wobble a little. Not bad just enough to **** me off.

they are jipping you. Buy your own bearings at hondaautomotiveparts.com or something. $50-60/side. If they are counting like a new hub then yea, it would be like $200, but doubt it is that much for just bearings...

unless you are quoted canadian funds? $50-60 us dollars per side over here.
