It depends on the period of time between you being able to do the other.

How many miles do you have on the oil?

If the oil change was due last November, then that should be changed asap.

$30 bucks for oil change
Wheel bearing is $50 but its a difficult DIY project.

I say start with the oil change.

well the oil change is pretty important and if the due date is past due you should do that first, wheel bearing will just continue to go ruh ruh ruh ruh until you swap it for a new one but the motor could just go cla cla cla cla__________. if you dont do the oil lol hope this helps on making up your mind also which wheel is making the noise??

haha then dont start with the front wheel bearing. Thats going to be a lot more involved. Take it some place for that.

Ok like muckman mentioned doing them wheel bearings can be a proyect, but if your a bit mechanically inclined you can always do the whole spindle and save time and money, try and sort a front passenger side spindle at junkyard, craigslist onr even here at the forum it would just be 8 nuts (4 lug nuts)+ 2 bolts caliper brackets, swap the spindles and voila done make sure you read up on this if you haven't done anything like it before and remember to tighten everything back to spec try and get yourself a manual line haynes and that my friend will be your best companion working on the teg g/l and keep us posted

Change your oil man. I let mine go for 4700 miles once, almost cried. The oil was still clean though lol. Wheel bearing requires a hydraulic press, or some creativity.

find a parts place or machine shop and take the knuckle to them around here they charge like 30 to press a bearing. Call around
