you can repack bearings yourself, but its not something I personally would do, because I dont know how.

ive heard quotes as high as $300 a pair, (front two wheels)

nobody wants to do it cuz it's a mess.

the bearings themselves i think are like 50 bucks a wheel or something.

someone else had had the same problem and it turned out to be his dust cover, he just bent it out of the way from the rotor and it stopped

sounds like your brake pad is wearing out. I had the same problem and i thought something was wrong with the axle. The noise was especially bad in reverse. Check your brake pads, and replace em. Resurface your rotors while you do too, it will make a big difference.
