Wheel bearing had been making noise for quite some time on the passenger side. I knew someone who owned the same vehicle and said that he had his replaced right around 100,000 miles. Mine was the passenger side but just did both front wheel bearings at the same time. I have a family friend who is a mechanic so it was much cheaper than the quote I received for just the one wheel bearing.
