Hub bearings are readily available online and at auto parts stores. Opting for a less expensive option should still work well. A competent mechanic can usually install them for much less than a dealer would charge. The main challenge is that they can be difficult to remove if they’ve rusted into the hub.

It seems that both procedures are charged at a flat rate of 4 hours. Wheel bearings cost about $100 each, with labor around $100 per hour, so you are looking at roughly $600 in total. If you can remove the steering knuckles yourself and take them to a shop, and use aftermarket or discounted factory bearings, you might reduce the cost to just over $300, assuming you don’t need new hubs. If hubs are required (and Camry hubs often slip and wear out), expect the total estimate to increase by around $200.

It was for my front driver side wheel bearing assembly and the axle on the same side. I’m not sure why others quote 4 hours for this job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I use Timken bearings from RockAuto, which are often reboxed OEM NSK or Koyo, costing about $35-40 each. Press work is roughly $40 per side, plus a four-wheel alignment afterward. However, you’ll need to be mechanically skilled and have the right tools to do this yourself.
I went to a local mechanic, who charged $100 for each bearing and $100 for each installation, totaling $400. Additionally, the alignment costs between $60 and $100, so expect to pay around $500. This is a good opportunity to replace any other worn parts, such as shocks or outer tie rods, since you’ll need an alignment.
