Suspension Question --- Please Help!
I went to get an alignment today and after waiting an hour for the service guy he said he can't do it until I fix a problem.
He said I have to change my Hub Assembly on right rear tire. Can anyone explain what this is and if it's doable by yourself. He quoted me for the hub assembly like $215 and labor $97 and some cap $24. Please help me out people. Thanks a lot.

That's probably the wheel bearing and hub. Here is the procedure for the front (not the rear so get a manual): http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/704 I would let a shop do it to save myself the trouble, but you decide

yup, sounds like a bad wheel bearing then.. If he says it's that wheel, and you notice play in it, then there's something wrong with the bearing.
I'm not sure on 4th gens, but on 3rd gens you have to replace the entire hub- you can't replace just the bearings...
This is a 10 minute job for someone with air tools. not a hard job at all.
remove wheel, remove brake caliper, remove rotor, remove hub cap, remove hub nut, remove hub. replace.
