I have been told that my front left wheel bearing needs to be replaced. Can you just replace the wheel bearing or do you need to replace the whole wheel hub assembly? Also, would this problem cause excessively tire wear on the rear of the car??????

front wheel bearing would not cause a rear tire uneven wear ? ...

By rotating wheel actually, check wheel bearing for noise and smooth rotation.
If defective, replace bearing.
