When it seizes you're in trouble.

Get it changed.

How much should I expect to pay to get a wheel bearing replaced and do they usually just change the entire hub assembly?

wheel bearings themselves are pretty cheap...they are like 80bucks a pop, genuine honda/acura... so your paying for the labour, and yeah generally its a job that'll run you around 400 for the fronts when all is said and done as someone mentioned... you can try and to it yourself, but you better know someone with a bearing press...

Must be that time of the year, i'm having the same problem. A clunking , thumping kind of sound while driving from the front passenger side.

From what i can gather it can be any of those 3 things (bearing, cv shafts, or ball joints).

Guess there will be a few of us crawling under our cars this week.

check the ball joints, i had one go out on me on the hwy when i was going about 140km/h. not fun stuff. if the car is older, change them, it'll save you alot of coin from fixing everything after it brakes.

there are 3 ways of saying this all with a different meaning

there = as in a place eg: over there in the corner

their = person = this pizza is theirs

the're = as in they are, the're going to the store

hopefully i cleared that up for you
