Right rear wheel started to make howl at 40 mph on sharp right hand turn, worse when back of vehicle was loaded, suspected wheel hub bearing wear. Pulled wheel and turned hub by hand noting significant bearing drag when jacked up off ground on right rear hub of AWD. Bought original Toyota hub and bearing assembly with new wheel lugs, after seeing aftermarket hub quality was not as good as Toyota and decided to not buy Timken bearings separately to put into old hub as most likely the bearing race was damaged. Installed both right and left hub and axle bearing assembly, which requires complete disassembly of drum parking brake inside hub and removal of brake rotor and caliper. Axles now turn freely both sides. Car had been used to tow, go into snow, off road and factory part lasted 160k miles. Toyota buns were $400 each, new axle nuts, caliper mount bolts, and bearings are sealed so good for another 160k! |
