    the bearing kit is 150.
    pays 6.9 hours in labor. if it needs a ring and pinion, add about 500

    Carrier bearings usually make a louder noise the faster you go, especially on the freeway. The fact that your noise happens on turns suggests that you have a problem with the spider gears that only start turning in turns. You'll have to pop the rear cover off to see the extent of the damage.
