I just paid to have a hub replaced on a Dodge 2500 4x4.....$ 470 for one side, but the actual hub assembly with the antilock wiring was over $ 300. My employee noticed faint noise while driving it, but we couldn't isolate it. Last week, he heard squealing noise, which we WERE able to isolate, but of course by that time the hub was damaged, so it wasn't just a replace and repack the wheel bearings kind of job.
I just wonder about the diagnosis of the Sebring. Did anyone see that the wheels had play when off the ground? Bearings going bad make noise. Did Enzo hear strange noises? He drives the car daily, I assume.
Considering all that, even if hubs look OK, I'd consider replacing the whole thing vs. new bearings......having a wheel fly off driving down the highway is something I would want to avoid.
