So my wheel bearing is bad and im trying to figure out the easiest way to go about fixing it.
So first i go out and buy a new bearing from auto zone. Then i realized that this knuckle is prolly pretty worn, so i decide to pop for a whole new hub.
From my understanding the hub is the whole knuckle/bearing/spindle thing right? But when i go to buy it, it does not specify right or left. Maybe its just me, but the knuckles sell as left and right, so shouldent the hubs?

edit: i need spell check XP

the hub and wheel bearing should be the same on both side

it all makes since now, i was reversing the terms hub and spindle.

If the bearings have been bad for a while (im talkin they have been making slight sounds for like 6 months, and now they starting making the car vibrate at 40 and 80, as well as a slight squeek.)
how much would the damages cost. Also when i take a slight turn left the noise from the vibration stops, but there is still some.


thanks for the help

I just replaced mine, and am trying to put it together. Hopefully ill be done soon. ill let you know

sweet, the local Toyota independent dealer put it in for me for 150$
should be done in like an hour.

edit: I just got back from the dealer and wow, this is a whole new car now, i didnt know a bearing could make that much of a difference. best 180 dollars ever invested glass smooth now
