Wheel Bearings

[bobstoc]

Does anyone know how much a front wheel bearing replacement would cost (at a dealership) for a 2001 Lexus GS430? My car has developed an intermittent, low humming sound. I don't know if it's my tires or if its the bearings. Also, could bad bearings in the front make a creaking/cracking sound when turning at low speeds??

Thanks in advance for your help.

cracking when turning? sounds like control arms like brian said... bearings go for about $40 each and you'll need two for upfront.

I wouldn't go to the dealership also, save your money. Have whoever is doing the work check the ball joints and inspect the tie rods.
