Default Wheel-bearings, need repacked?

Scraping sound from Right front when turning left or over variences in the road. Does this indicate wheel-bearings bad? (No signs of rubbing on tires/wheel-well). Right side only. If so, what cause the scraping sound? How much should it cost.

They are a sealed unit, you'll have to replace it. I've seen them anywhere from $150-$275 each.

Make sure you get the right one, there ones with the ABS plug and ones without.

I'm not sure that it indicates that the bearings are out, but if your car has close to 100k or over that, then all the bearings and U-joints should be replaced.

Scraping sounds can be caused by the disc brake pad wear indicators contacting the rotor. Check them in addition to wheel bearings.
