Take it to Carson 1st. My car had all kinds of _clutch related_ deceleration noise. My clutch was replaced under warrenty at Carson... but Lithia refused to admit there was even a problem.

I also have a hard time believing the wheel bearings are shot... how old is this car? Smacking the bumper on somthing like you did should not effect the wheel bearings AFAIK. However, a bent drive shaft would cause vibration that you might hear only when braking from high speeds...

My opinion, get a second opinion. I don't trust the guys at Lithia... especially Joe, he seems like your basic scamming mechanic to me. The fellas at Carson are up on their game.
