    I am getting a rubbing or bearing noise when turning left. Noise not there when driving straight or right turns. Seems to be coming from front passenger side. Dealer has checked twice at normal services, nothing.

    Passenger side wheel bearing may be failing. Pretty common.

    On wheel bearings, are there an inter and outer bearing on each wheel. Should they be replaced both front wheels, Driver side and Passenger side at same time?
    What would be cost for this project, done by Dealer?

    The wheel bearings front and rear are complete hub units with wheel flange and studs. These are held in place by for bolts plus the drive shaft on the fronts. See link below.
