I too was bitten by the wheel bearing ghost! I'll explain>
I had to have my left front bearing replaced at a cost of $347. My "02 cruiser has 68,000 miles on it.
The mech had "mentioned" some time ago. something about a ground wire connection from my front end assembly and the body of the car.This will cause the wheel bearings to carry current from static electricity to travel along into the front end, causing the bearing wear.
He patched it up but it seems that it didn't help, I need the original strap.

\ Now, About one year later the bearing went. He told me that Chrysler knew about it and
told him about it. Now, get this my local dearlership doesn't even keep the item in stock! I am now special ordering them to be put in my car at a cost of $8 per strap. If this is news to anyone fear not because it was news to me. You might want to pass this along to other owners.
that;s my two pennies
