You only need to replace the 1 side that is failing, no reason to replace more. Let me know if you have questions or would like replacement instructions. Thanks.

Ok thank you! Is it an assembly or different bearings? Like up and lower ball joints.

It is a assembly, the ball joints are different then wheel bearing. I'll get you a diagram.

Just replace the 1 wheel bearing that is noisy/loose and that should solve all of the problem. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions, thanks.

Exhaust leak is usually something best dealt with by a exhaust shop and should be around a $100 repair. Let me know if you have questions, thanks.

Ok I was told i may also have motor mount issue. How hard is that that to fix and how do I find out exactly where motor mount is broken

A worn motor mount can allow excessive vibration and lead to exhaust leaks so dealing with the motor mount issue would probably be best first step. Let me know how it goes or if you have questions, thanks.

Ok can you send me instructions on replacing hub assembly? I know they have to be pressed in and out to avoid damaging them.
