2015 with 84 k on the clock. I was told I have a bad rear wheel bearing. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have an idea on what this could cost?

If you have someone press this bearing assembly on and off the axle (once removed) you’ll also need the axle seal, the collar the seal rides on, the spring washer, circlip, and I believe there is a large o-ring. The best price for all of these OEM parts and not by a little, is Partsouq.com If you’re not doing the labor part, saving money on the parts is your best shot at keeping the over all price down some. The hardest part really, is removing the E-brake components to get the brake cable off the backing plate.
