Busted wheel bearing

[apoc]

Hey again people,

Recently when i have been leaving to go to work, i have noticed that when i turn sharply to the left i can hear my brakes rubbing. I have also heard a whiring noise whilst on the highway. So i decided i have probably got a bung wheel bearing. I just want to confirm what i discovered and see what is needed to fix the bearing.

I jacked the car up one wheel at a time, starting on the passenger side as this was where the sound seemed to be coming from. Front wheel was solid no slop in it while pulling top and bottom no bad sounds while rotating wheel. This i would think says the bearing is fine... both the drivers side front and rear were the same as the PS front wheel.

However the second wheel i tested being the PS rear, when i was pulling on the wheel top to bottom it was clonking a bit. thinking that maybe i could pull out the bearing repack it and whack it back in, i started to take things off, wheel, brake caliper, after giving the rotor a jiggle now i could pull the hub in and out about 2-3mm (i figured that the brakes were holding the rotor). When the hub is pulled to the out position i could get a fair bit of slop jiggling top and bottom of rotor, pushed in however the slop is gone.

I took the rotor off next trying to see if i could get to this bearing, this didn't really help. Coming to my own conclusion that the wheel bearing must be shagged and the cause of my brakes squeeling a bit, and undecided as to what i could do next, i decided to whack it all back togethter.

So does what i have described above sound like a busted wheel bearing?

If it is a busted wheel bearing, what do i have to replace? I have heard that the front wheel hub and bearing are a sort of one piece assembly. Is this the same for the rear?

What is the procedure for replacing the necessary part(s) to fix my problem.

Cheers again,
Apoc.
