bearing, joint, or tire

found a great shop with cool guys in orange ca, that diagnosed a definite bad wheel bearing and quoted 3 hrs labor at 110 an hr and 60 dollars for the bearing-so not as bad as i thought..should be back to nice and smooth after that.

Hey, yeah, that's not bad at all. When I was tryin' to diagnose mine I stopped at the local P-car dealership and was asking a few questions about it, gently pumpin' them for opinions. I ended by asking what they would charge to replace it, assuming it was in fact the bearing. (Not knowing yet whether I was willing to try this job on my own or not, but also KNOWING that what he was going to quote me was gonna be way more than I was willing to pay!)

His answer? Around a grand. I was NOT surprised...
