Default Wheel bearings question.

I have a very slight hum coming from the front of the car. I am thinking the wheel bearings may be in for some work. Can they be re packed and adjusted. What has anyone done with wheel bearings? Please help.

you can get then pressed into your old flange , but really its cheaper to buy new bearing with flange. its not to difficult to do yourself , but ifure not inclined to do it urself . go to any mechanic it shouldnt be more than 2 units of labor theyll charge you for bout 1.5 hours. go to napa they carry oem parts prices vary from 85-150$ per unit

Try rotating your tires from front to back before condemming the wheel bearings.

That's what I was gonna suggest. Your tires may be cupping.
