rear wheel bearings

i need to replace my back 2 bearings. I am going to buy the hubs also because im pretty sure there gone by now. My question is when you buy the hub and bearing together is it already packed in the hub and also where do you think the best place to buy them would be. ive found a few for about 120 each bearing and hub together.

Its my understanding that the bearings are pressed into the hub. Mine should be coming UPS today. I'll let you know

My rear wheels are squealing when I brake. Took me a while to figure out which wheels were doing it. Also first thing in the morning when I start rolling they squeal/squeak for a little bit and then stop after a few seconds of rolling.

I replaced all my brakes last June for inspection. Could this be my wheel bearings? How can I tell?

To follow-up with my previous post, YES the hub I purchased from car-parts.com DOES include the bearings.

How can you determine if the bearings are bad on your car? See my previous post.

bearings will usually give a whining/howling sound.... usually will increase with speed.... sometimes you can make hard turns to put extra pressure on the wheel bearings and see if the noise gets louder..... when they get bad, there can also be play in them. to test, jack the car up and grab the top and bottom of the tire and rock the wheel back and forth from top to bottom....
