To clean and repack the wheel bearings, which is the process of greasing and cleaning the bearings, can cost about $100 to $150.
For the parts alone, wheel bearings can cost anywhere from $20 to as much as $200. For example, Amazon has a parts selector that allows you to check for your particular model. A car, such as a Toyota Corolla, has parts available for $20 to $110. When labor is factored in, the total labor costs can cost anywhere from $150 to as much as $350 per front or rear bearing. If more than one bearing needs to replaced, this quote can easily double. This will all depend on the shop’s labor rate, but most will be between $40 to $75 per hour, and each bearing should take about two hours to fix/replace. Most of the time, the front wheel bearing will cost a pinch more than the rear bearings since the bearings in the rear tend to have cheaper parts and the process can be faster than those replaced in the front.
During most repairs, a mechanic will first verify the bearing is, indeed, faulty. If deemed faulty, he or she will simply remove or replace the bearing, depending on the type of bearing as mentioned earlier. Aside from the bearing, the steering and suspension system will be inspected for any damaged or worn out components. more

Noises– The most consistent sound that a bad wheel bearing is going to make is a low pitched grinding sound. This noise should be coming from the wheel or tire area. more
When your brakes have worn really far they can start to make a squeaking sound. It’s basically them begging to be replaced. If your brakes have worn to the point that they are grinding, you’ll feel a miserable grind when you hit them.
If you do have a bad bearing, replacing it is important. A bad wheel bearing can put stress on other components and they can begin to fail. It’ll also cause the tires to wear unevenly (usually on the inside).
You would also want to turn the tire and see if there is an audible noise coming from the bearing. I’ve put a fantastic YouTube video on this from ChrisFix below. He does all of this. Check it out.
