FixWheel Bearing Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $336 – $642. The price on any one car depends on the vehicle — the table below shows the range for each.
What this repair is
The wheel bearing lets each wheel spin freely under the car's weight. A worn one hums or growls, rising with speed and changing when you swerve. Most modern vehicles use a sealed hub assembly — bearing and hub replaced as one unit.

What moves the price
- Bolt-in or pressed — hub assemblies bolt on; pressed bearings need the knuckle out and a press.
- Integrated sensor — hubs with the ABS sensor built in cost more but fix a warning light too.
- Rust — a hub seized to the knuckle adds time.
Quotes near the low end usually mean bolt-in hub assembly on a truck. Quotes near the high end usually mean pressed bearing needing the knuckle removed, OEM hub with integrated sensor, seized components.
