My rear passenger (or driver?) side wheel recently started making some noises. it gets progressively louder the faster i go, and makes a EErrrrrrr kinda noise, i assume its the wheel bearings but i haven’t got a chance to look into it yet

any ideas on what else it could be / how much this shit is to fix?

is the sound like a continuous whine? cause if thats the case, then it is, in fact your wheel bearings. The work can be done within a couple of hours if you do it yourself. if you get a mechanic to do it, the part itself will be cheap, but the labour will be more.

caution: dont wait to do it at the last minute, the longer its in there, the more costly it can become to replace.

no rust, wheel bearing, 90% time is good.
