Default Wheel Bearings noise?

I was just at Honda for this loud "reving" sound that I thought had to do with my exhaust system but they say its the rear wheel bearings and I need both hubs replaced.

Anyone ever have this problem and if so how did the car sound?

Right now I feel like I'm driving a Nascar

it sounds like a grinding noise...it shouldnt sound anything like the exhaust system. it almost sounds like you have a flat tire or something...it's just a dull, loud noise that gets louder with speed and louder as the condition worsens.

My rear bearings are fine...I've had both fronts replaced.

I had my font left bearing changed. The dealer was a bit too keen to change the whole hub, which I did not agree. He was estimating 1.5 hours. Finally, I had my bearing changed at an independant shop. He charged me 1 hour at 2/3 the dealer rate.

I just trust dealers a bit less AGAIN.

I think my 99 may have this problem. Sounds like really loud tire noise.

Any cost on new hubs????
