About 10,000 miles ago I was hit front right, blew out tire and scraped down side of truck to bed. Mechanically, it seemed that the only initial damage was alignment. Now the truck makes a harsh grinding noise intermittenly while driving, more pronounced during left turns, but then will stop. I pulled the wheel and noticed that there is a lot of play, up and down and left to right, in the rotor. I guessing that the bearing needs to be replaced. I was quoted $200 for the whole assembly. Is this a job I can do myself? I am good with "bolt off, bolt on repairs."
Thank you.
