89 Omni front wheel bearing

[Doug Ash]

I have an 89 Omni, its been a great car until a few months ago when I would go into a turn and hear a humming sound from the front. I thought it was a bearing so I replaced BOTH front spindles w/ used ones and over time it has gotten worse. Now it not only hums in a turn, it hums at ALL times and even vibrates in a hard right turn. Bearing replacement was priced to me at about $200 per side on the front because they are pressed in.

My question-------
Is there a cheaper way to put NEW bearings in my spindles?

There are aftermarket bearings you can buy that come with the hub already installed but buy the price you have sounds like that's what he is using.
Labour is usually 1.5 hrs a side and the bearing from the dealer should come in around 45$(Canadian) so do some math and/or phone around the dealer may be cheaper on this one
