Unhappy

I have been told by my local scooby garage that my rear passenger wheel bearing is going.

MY 98 and done 50000 is this common?

They have told me that its gonna be about £200 to replace it?

Is this a good price?

My '98 with 55K on the clock has a rumbling coming from the o/s rear which I'm pretty sure is the wheel bearing. What sort of noise did/does yours make?

Its a sort of huming rumbling noise that is only apparent at speeds above 25mph.

Had a rear one replaced on my93 wrx last year. cost £200 fitted coz the back ones are "dealer only" according to my local garage suppliers. I have an import but it only cost 3 quid more than a uk one. Why would they be different
