Started as a 400 dollar wheel bearing. Dealer said everything was so siezed together can't knock anything apart and whatnot. Want to replace entire assembly plus axle. 3000$ Taking it elsewhere for 2nd opinion. Will update. Went to second shop and had choice of aftermarket or used and decided to go used because it's oem and in good condition. Removed entire wheel assembly and replaced barring, hub, linkage, axle, abs sensor. For 650 incl labour.
