Do you need them replaced completely or just repacked? A Pep Boys or Midas should be able to repack them for like $50. Replacing them costs more in parts, but shouldn't be too hard to install. From what I'd seen, it's a fairly easy job on the front wheels of the Lancer, although I haven't had to try it yet. May I ask what has you needing them replaced so soon? 45k miles and tons of autocross, canyons, and track days and mine are clean as a whistle.

i get the warped rotor noise when i drive, everyone says its my bearings, im pretty sure they have to be completely replaced. i have 42000 miles, i abuse my car like crazy when i first got it, i tried drifting a couple times in it, i think thats what messed them up. i dont abuse my car so much anymore since i got the bodykit and stuff

Check out Midas or Pep Boys then, that should be cheaper than the dealership. Or wait a few days to see if someone posts back and knows for sure how easy they are to replace on your own. Looks to me like a clip and a big crescent wrench, but I've only adjusted one on a Mirage, nothing more.
