I need to write a check so I would rather get them here. Does the seals or whatever I need come with them and do I need front n rear? Can I get away with doing rear only? (for a couple weeks) <p>Any help is appreciated, I will print it in the AM and order them tomorrow....THANKS!

I recently followed a guy to my house with a very bad right rear wheel bearing.
I advised him not to drive it that far, about 100 miles, and he insisted we go all the way to my shop.
WITHOUT STOPPING ONCE!!!
2.6 miles from my home the rr axle boot caught FIRE!!!!!
And fell out from under the car.
The heat was generated by the parking brake shoes rubbing on the inside of the rr brake rotor.
The axle, wheel bearing, rr hub, parking brake cable, ABS sensor, rotor, backing plate, caliper mounting bracket, and more were ruined.
That being said, are you sure its a wheel bearing?
Who did the diagnosis?
Bad tires can make the same exact sound.
Do you have four jack stands?
What county are you in?
I have a list of part #s in another thread and will post it here for you in my next post.
