About $120 for the part from NAPA. The hard part is getting to it, and getting the proper bolts loose. Air tools help for this. Make sure the ABS wire is plugged back in and clear the codes. Good time for brake work if you have all the parts off anyway.
Should have bushings in it?

Well, I would recommend replacing wheel bearings in cars around approximately two to five times a year because it ensures that the vehicles or automobiles work fine.
Make sure the nut that holds the bearing in place is properly adjusted.When you tighten it the wheel should spin free but you should no be able to wiggle it.
The wheels are removed then the drums and finally the bearings. The cost depends on what part of the country you live in so call a couple of local garages for estimates.
Yes. You should also replace the race at the same time.
This depends on if you are replacing the front or rear wheel bearings. The front wheel bearings require that you remove the brake caliper and disc assemblies (this is required for the rear bearings as well) You will also need to remove the front driveshaft from the hub, after which the hub will unbolt and can be removed from the vehicle. S40's have the annoying habit of having the driveshafts rust into the hub, so you may have some difficulty with that. The rear hub assemblies are also removed in a similar way, except you don't have to remove the driveshaft as it wont have one! If you are replacing the bearings with genuine Volvo units they should come as a whole hub assembly, in which case all you have to do is bolt the new units in and off you go. However if you are just replacing the bearings themselves, you'll require the use of a heavy duty bech press to remove the bearings from the housing.
Yes, you shouldn't be replacing your wheels every time your bearings wear out. If your wheels are still good, just get a skate shop to pull the old bearings out and put new ones in. While you're at it, get them to teach you how to do it yourself--it's a pretty simple task.
They should all impala's from 2000-2011 have the same bolt pattern 5x115
I have a 2001 Chevy Impala with a 3.4 v6. Instead of replacing the resonator with another one, I had it replaced with a straight pipe at a local muffler shop for $80.00 and it works just fine. I think if you have dual exhaust you should replace both resonators so there will be equal back pressure.
The wheel bearings are sealed and should last a long time. If you think they are bad you would have to replace the bearings they cannot be repacked.
Front wheel bearings in a car should be well greased but have never heard of them needing to be earthed.
