Replacing Rear Wheel Bearings

I have a 92 VR-4 and the last time that I had it at the dealer for some minor stuff, they indicated that I should have the rear wheel bearings replaced, since they were starting to go. This is a summer/vacation car, so I don't put alot of miles on it.

My questions are as follows:

1) If the right side is going, should I just bite the bullet and get both of the rears replaced?

2) Does this have to be done by a Mitsubishi dealer, or is this stuff any competent mechanic can do? Any suggestions for a mechanic in the Mass area?

3) What should I expect to pay for parts and labor?

Thanks and keep up the great forum.

Thanks for the process. Any idea on the costs involved or info on my questions?

Thanks

Any decent Mechanic should be able to replace the rear bearing. It's not at all a tempramental piece of hardware.

Personally I would just replace the right side. I found that the right side wears a lot faster then the left since it is subject to more lateral impacts (read: bumping the curb) which is not really the type of load the bearing was designed for.
