86k mi and the rear passenger bearing is getting annoyingly loud now. so while I wait to hear what my local shop is going to quote me, was wondering what the best option was. I've read that it should run $400-600 to replace it depending on the shop but I also read sea-scooby's post on another bearing thread that you can:
"Spend $80 on an 02-05 WRX knuckle/hub and swap it over. It is way cheaper and easier than messing with the bearing, which if it isn't packed right it will go bad fairly quickly."
Obviously if that's true, I'd like to save the coin and go with that route. If so, do I need to replace the driver side so they have the same specs on each side or is it the same/irrelevant?
Thoughts?
