Out of curiosity, what kind of noise were you hearing when the bearings were acting up?

FYI, just looked at rotors and wheel bearings and rockauto.com has better pricing.

I was thinking about this, and since the rear wheel bearing replacement parts requiring pressing in, would it be possible to press them in with a bench vise?

you'll hear a WOOOoOOOoOOOoOOO at very low frequency.. more when you load the wheel with the worn bearing, less when you'll unload...
like very noisy tires.
when you'll start feeling a vibration and your car acting weird (like understeering turning one direction, oversteering the other.. pulling on one side while you brake.. or waving..) it's time to change and DAMN quickly.

Okay good. I don't have this issue....at least yet. I dunno what the clunks I am getting from the back over bumps though. Haven't figured that one out yet.

good bet on swaybars end links. (check also you don't have any bolt loose in the suspensions, especially the two on top of the rear strut)

I had a end link go bad and cause clunking over bumps.

Seems like my front passenger side wheel bearing needs replacement. The noise reminds me of riding in my friends lifted pickup with offroad tires on the highway. Thought it was feathered tires, but replaced my tires and the noise is still there.

Just want to make sure I am ordering the correct part from APW. This is what shows up for the part# that someone listed in this post, and in the picture posted. The picture and part name are slightly different though.

Also, is it fine for me to replace just one side, or should I replace both front assemblies together?

always a good idea to replace both, regardless of which side it's on. if you're ever curious about part numbers, i suggest you go to courtesyparts.com. they have the real catalog there for you to use. i use them all the time.
