Hey folks, just wondering how big, hard, of a job to replace these on my X? car has not quite 65,000 miles, and has really not been driven in the winter that much, however just noticed kind of a growl, or weird rubbing noise coming from the front, when turning the wheel, >either< way at slower speeds, just can't hear it at higher speeds because my larger kumo tires are sort of loud all the time...appreciate any insights on this subject!! regards....

 

Usually wheel bearings don't show their faces at low speeds. May be something else.

But it takes some effort...

 

I'd start with an alignment, that can cause some terrifying noises from the front end if it's off.

 

Growl could definitely be bearings, but if it's only when turning, I may look at other suspects. The job isn't that difficult, you don't even have to remove the axle to get at the through bolts.
