WHAT THE FARK?!, I thought I was done with Rear Problems! Options

[XCSkierFreak]

So today, I'm driving around, like I usually do, and I hear a familar and unwanted clunking when I brake, as well as some higher pitched irregularly spaced noises.

I think my right rear wheel bearing is shot. Again. I replaced it a little over 1K ago, and the aforementioned noises were present before I did it, and magically disappeared after. My hope is that I'm just retarded, the bearing is fine, nothing's on the actual axle is loose, and I just need to replace my worn struts/sway bar bushing/something else not expensive.

I jacked 'er up after I got home, wiggled the tires, sure enough, the right one's got a little play, and the left one's tight as <insert vulgar term here>.

Any suggestions?? When I replaced it a month ago, I just bought a wheel bearing, and ended up paying almos the price difference of a wheel bearing vs bearing and hub assembly for a shop to press it.

Shiza, I'm going to go punch a wall or something.

Okay, here's what I know:

I called up a half dozen auto parts stores, everyone that was selling a 'bearing and hub assembly" had them around $72. This was a few bucks less than I paid for what I was told was just the right rear wheel bearing. I figured I was finally going to get a break. I asked the guy on the phone too, "I won't need to press the old bearing off to get the hub on?" "Nope, just got to take the 4 bolts off, then bolt this one on."

Turns out on Advance Auto Parts website (the store that's getting it in stock for me tomorrow), the bearing and hub assembly picture, at least, is just the bearing/housing and all that, no HUB.

Now I really am going to punch something, probably that damn salesman who put me on hold for 15 minutes then didn't know what he was selling to me.

And I got sway bar bushings for $4.68 a pop, at least that's cheap.
