rear wheel bearing replacement?

well i kind of spun out and hit a kirb with my rear drivers side wheel. now when i drive anything over 35 i am getting a humming sound which only gets louder at faster speeds. i checked out the rear wheel and noticed that if i grab it and shake it in and out that it has some play. i took off the wheel and brakes and noticed that the hub assembly is what has the play in it. my question is whether or not this is probably the wheel bearing or the entire hub. if it is just the wheel bearing can i replace just that or should i just go ahead and get a new assembly. also where and approx. how much can i get these parts. thanks in advance.

you can check autozone.com. I got my front bearing from them w/lifetime warranty.

You probably won't be able to tell if the hub is damaged until the bearing is pressed out.

so if i can replace just the bearing is the front the same as the rear? autozone shows that they cannot get the rear bearings or hub assemblies.

My bad. Kragen has the bearing, search for FW119. However in the description it says it's for the front. You might wanna check FAST (nissan's electronic parts catalog). If i have some time tongiht i'll do some more researching for u.
