Time to drag old threads out of the woodwork!! My situation is that my bearings have begun to 'whine' in 1st, 2nd and 3rd after some roundabout driving last night. I am trying to decide whether it is better to have new bearings put in ~$1k with remove/refit, or to get a 25 box and have that put in ~2k with everything. I am thinking the 25 atm as it seems like good insurance for the future although the extra money is a killer. Advice please
