I am getting four new tires on my trailblazer. I have a bad driver side front wheel bearing. I also need an alignment. Should i replace the wheel bearing and take it back for an alignment or will it not affect the alignment? Also is it ok to change just one side or should i do both bearing right away.

Replacing the bearing will not affect your alignment. And yes, it is safe to replace only one bearing. My belief is "why fix it if it isn't broken." lol

Let me know if you have other questions.
