am i crazy? Options

[Vissi]

So my wheel bearing is bad and im trying to figure out the easiest way to go about fixing it.
So first i go out and buy a new bearing from auto zone. Then i realized that this knuckle is prolly pretty worn, so i decide to pop for a whole new hub.
From my understanding the hub is the whole knuckle/bearing/spindle thing right? But when i go to buy it, it does not specify right or left. Maybe its just me, but the knuckles sell as left and right, so shouldent the hubs?

edit: i need spell check XP

the hub and wheel bearing should be the same on both side

it all makes since now, i was reversing the terms hub and spindle.

If the bearings have been bad for a while (im talkin they have been making slight sounds for like 6 months, and now they starting making the car vibrate at 40 and 80, as well as a slight squeek.)
how much would the damages cost. Also when i take a slight turn left the noise from the vibration stops, but there is still some.


thanks for the help
