Rear Wheel Bearings???

I am pretty sure that I need to replace my rear wheel bearings but I was just wondering if anyone else has had do replace them as well. I have a 98 SE with 98K miles. What makes me think that I need new ones is that I get a loud humming and vibration at speed. When I turn corners the noise and vibration changes to a pulse. I know it is coming from the rear. I went to my Uncles's parts store and he can't even get them. I am going to have to get them at the dealer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I heard that the bearings are in the actual hub and the hub+bearings only costs like $10 more (at like autozone) so it would be alot easier just replacing the hub, but dont quote me on that $10

b4 you spend $$ on wheel bearings, check out your tires 1st..I had the same problem, tires appeared to be in great condition, turned out the belt inside the tire was broken.

I just called Courtesy Nissan and they want $93 for a hub/bearing. I then called Autozone and they want $83 for hub/bearing. Is there any way to replace just the bearig itself???
