Well the OEM part itslef is about a 400 dollar part. But for a 1999 I dont see anything wrong with putting an aftermarket wheel baring in and the aftermarket part is about 200. I have a 1999 and put in an aftermarket and its just as good, but including labor rated at a standard of 89.00 something an hour and its about a 3-4 hour job so thats about 500.00 bucks. But be careful as sometimes when we do repairs on a wheel baring that sometimes the rotar becomes warped and that needs to be replaced as well.
