What affects wheel bearing replacement cost
- Number of wheels. Each wheel is priced separately; doing a pair costs roughly double a single.
- Front vs rear. Front hubs with ABS sensors can cost more to replace than simple rear bearings.
- Vehicle make. Larger and luxury vehicles use pricier hub assemblies.
- Part quality. OEM costs more than aftermarket hubs.
- Labor. Pressed bearings take more shop time than bolt-on hub units.
- Location. Regional labor rates vary.
