Perhaps you should call your dealer's parts department and ask them what a "rear hub assembly" costs for an xB1. Be sure you're sitting down. The bearings aren't replaceable and they aren't "sub 100 dollar."

oh and the large warranty thing about putting your money where your mouth is . it's called not having to do so when your cars for the damnded most part are SOLID .

It's the few not-so-SOLID parts on my xB that annoy me...
