Are new wheel bearings necessary when installing new axles?

I finally have a set of new axles ready to install on my '93 E since I'm really annoyed of the clicking I get on right turns. However, now my mechanic tells me that it would be better if I install new bearings as well. He says its kinda like installing a new water pump when doing timing belts on cars............highly recommended.

My bearings don't squeal at this point (70K) and only my left axle is bad but I said what the heck and decided to order both axles. Should I also get new bearings?
