Rear Wheel Bearing help Well im trying to sell ro trade in my car and im having a noise coming from the rear end which sounds like a bearing issue to me. How much can i expect a shop to charge me to fix this? Not necessarily in a position to fix it myself. Thanks for any input

Depends on alot of things. Diagnosis will probably be $45 for half hour. Then $74-$100/hr for labor plus parts. Total labor charge will depend if it is a pinion, carier or wheel bearing; or if it is gear noise.

I just spent $500+ to replace differential bearings, all bearings in the center section. I initially also thought the noise was wheel bearings, but that was not the case. I guess you will never know until you open it up. I was lucky that it did not hurt anything else.

I first made a mistake of taking my car to AAA Autocare in Sunnyvale, well I am still new to the area and I did not know any better. They diagnosed the car, told me they would work on rear end, and still charged me diagnose. I did tell them that I needed to have noise from rear end fixed...
To say the least, I am not going back there. 
I do not know any other shops in the area, so there may be other shops that can help you as well. Hope this helps.
Sorry about
