How much should it cost to get my bearings replaced on the front passenger side of a 2006 Chrysler 300 v-6 all wheel drive and should I get both front wheels done or is it cool to just get the one? Thanks everyone

Keep reading and you’ll learn the typical costs associated with front and rear wheel bearing replacement, the seven factors that influence the true cost (you can save some money here), and whether your warrantee or insurance coverage would cover bearing replacement.

As for replacing your front wheel bearings, this service actually costs more. The average labor costs are between $350 and $550 while the average parts cost is between $150 and $300.

The cost of replacing the front and rear wheeling bearings of your car will depend on what kind of car you have. The two expenses associated with this service are the cost of the parts and cost of the labor.

In most cases, car insurance policies do not cover the cost of wheel bearing replacement, as it’s considered a wear-and-tear issue rather than damage caused by a covered event, such as an accident or theft. However, there are some exceptions:

Some model use hub bearings in the rear. With this type, the wheel bearing attaches together with the hub assembly, and built in with speed sensor ( if the car has ABS on it). The average cost to replace this part is between $400 to $500 for one side including the labor.

Extended Warranty: If you purchased an extended warranty or service contract beyond the manufacturer’s warranty, wheel bearing replacement may be covered under its terms. Review your extended warranty documentation or contact the warranty provider to determine if the repair is eligible for coverage.

Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI): Some insurers offer optional MBI coverage, which can help pay for repairs to mechanical components, including wheel bearings. If you have purchased this additional coverage, you may be able to file a claim for wheel bearing replacement costs.

Collision Coverage: If your wheel bearings were damaged as a result of a collision, and you have collision coverage as part of your car insurance policy, the entire cost of the repair will likely be covered, subject to your deductible of course.

On average, you can expect to pay between $190 and $310 for the parts associated with replacing your rear wheel bearings. The average labor costs will be between $250 and $400.

The fact that I’m old and slow with no air tools turned the replacement into an over four hours job. I took several breaks.

If you were to replace all the wheel bearings of your vehicle, you should expect to pay anywhere between $800 and $1,000 total. Unless you have a special warranty plan that covers this expense, the cost will probably be higher than expected for most car owners.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty: New vehicles come with some type of basic warranty that covers various components, including wheel bearings, for a specified period or mileage. If your vehicle is within this coverage period, the cost of wheel bearing replacement may be fully or partially covered by the manufacturer.

Nice work. It’s great to do the work yourself when you can, and four hours isn’t bad. I think being methodical and confident in your work is more important than speed.

I just replaced the front wheel bearing’s or hub’s on my 2018 Ford F-150. The truck has 70K miles and the driver’s side bearing was shot.

When dealing any type of part replacement, it’s a good idea to understand whether the repair is covered under your vehicle’s warranty or your car insurance policy. Understanding your coverage can help you minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

If your vehicle is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, wheel bearing replacement may be covered. However, the specific terms and conditions of the warranty can vary depending on the manufacturer and the type of warranty you have.

Whether you’ve determined that your wheel bearings are worn out and need replacement or your mechanic provided a repair estimate, you’re probably wondering what the average cost of wheel bearing replacement really is?

Again, these are only estimates but they should give you a rough idea of the kind of money you should expect to pay for fixing your wheel bearings.

You may think it would be wise to have your bearings serviced but you won’t be able to do that because the bearings are sealed. All you can do is wait for them to go bad and then replace them.

I have a 2006 Nissian Maxima. Just had this happen to me; the other day. If anybody could tell me how much I could be paying for the parts I would appreciate it.

Like most any other automotive service, there are several factors that can influence the cost of replacing your vehicle’s wheel bearings. Understanding these factors can help you better budget for the expense and possibly help you save some money.

Cost of parts is wrong but perhaps accurate for foreign/expensive cars. For my car I can buy new bearings for both front wheels for under $100 from a reputable online seller.

All in all, I likely saved 700-800 dollars and installed high quality parts. Parts markup by the mechanic is out of control these days. That’s why I do the work myself when I can.

The sad thing is the labor costs are usually more money than the parts cost. But if you don’t know anything about auto mechanics then you don’t want to risk doing the job yourself or else you could cause additional costly damage to your car.

Powertrain Warranty: Some manufacturers offer an extended powertrain warranty that covers specific components, such as the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. While wheel bearings are not typically included in powertrain warranties, it’s worth checking your specific coverage to be sure.
