i got my front wheel bearings replaced for ~$450 as well. this was at GB Motorsport here in Norcal.

they quoted me ~$200 for all the parts and ~$250 for labor.

goodluck.

hey, 'the mike'. No need to ask any more. Thanks for your offer. I've already gone down to let Steve check it out. He claims that my front right wheel bearing has just starting to wear out. Nothing too severe. So yeah, thanks. One week from the prego suby's sugery.
