Im pretty sure that they are my problem, but i want to be 100% sure thats what it is before I go spend the money to fix it only to find out its something else.

After I drive for about a minute or so i get this squeak/grind/creak noise thats kinda like tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk while im driving around. Other than that, Ive not noticed any diffrence in anything, just the noise. It comes from the passenger front wheel. So what do you think? Wheel bearing? If not that then what?

Also if its that, i dont have many tools around the house so I would probly not be able to do it myself. If I end up having to take it to a dealership, any idea on what that will run me to get both sides replaced?

half-way there, I think.
Easy way to check for a bad wheel bearing is to jack the car up. Grab the wheel with one hand at 9 o'clock and the other at 3 o'clock. Wiggle the tire back and forth. Then repeat with your hands at 6 and 12. Also check for a torn CV boot or worn brakes.
