recently purchased. 90k miles. had michelins with 55k miles. alot of humming,whistling noise from the rear. i bought 4 new "goodrich t/a pro,s" at sam,s. still have the same noise,but it seems a little reduced. would bad rear bearings make this type of noise?? is labor about one hour to change both bearings?

rear= need to replace the hubs. front wheels bearings are pressed on. dealer hubs = $375. advance hubs = $118. we,ll keep you guys posted.

We have an '03 LE in our fleet with 170,000 miles on it.
I replaced both rear hubs at 120,000 miles.
This is the newest Corolla we have out of 30 or so '99 thru '02s.
I hate the thing. It rides like a tank and has allot more road noise compared to the previous generation Corollas.
The struts are original so I may install new ones to see if it softens it up.
