Til info.. take care of wheel bearings, folks

Wheel bearings can be had by a lot of manufacturers and they're not all garbage either TRQ's doing quite decent work and they cost I want to say $75 or something like that per side I buy them pretty regularly here in America I have lived in your country very short time many years ago before all the nonsense the '60s maybe early '70s Yes y'all have interesting regulations I'm not sure why Toyota would have to do this I would do this in my driveway in about 45 minutes on each side of the car at the same time replacing the struts with complete units with new springs top plates and the like because that's how I do it The parts are really the least of my problem in today's way of doing things. I'm sorry it has to be this way for you Toyota is taking advantage of your country it seems like or your country's rules and that's a cheap shot but something is amiss somewhere wheel bearings aren't going to cause your car to do anything except stop going forward nicely and well you'll be stranded No one's going to die I mean nothing's going to happen to not like a lithium-ion battery exploding and catching a fire seems quite ridiculous.

Toyota replaces the wheel bearing itself and not the whole knuckle according to a Toyota dealer here in Calif. $1200 for one they quoted daughter and she paid $115 for them to “diagnose.”
I managed to replace both sides with the Chinese made whole loaded knuckles sold out there, I used Detroit Axle. Was very impressed with the quality. It needed both sides. For me it was a lot of work, of course I am doing it on the ground. Back belt on. Money saved worth it? One day personal recovery for each side.
Doing just the bearing seems like more work and more chance for error, depends on the mechanic. There is a snap ring and pressed in cup on the back. The replacement loaded all assembled knuckles seemed perfect.
Glad to hear someone verifies inflation is world wide.

 

Why did you change the whole hunk of aluminum that doesn't make sense to me I'm doing it on my back out in the yard too well on a gravel driveway and I do have some concrete here but still I'm like 68 and all I do is take the hunk of aluminum off because usually I'm changing the lower ball joint from the control arm that's held on with the little bolt and the two nuts and then I undo the four bolts knock off the bearing out of my piece of aluminum so I can take that pesky backing plate off from the brakes throw that over into the pile of them and then put my new TRQ bearing which cost I think they're $84 aside now I have them in three cars seem to be working very well so generally the whole swap I keep two loaded hubs here at all times for the generation 2 with those loaded hubs start to finish changing them out as 45 minutes aside and that includes the lower ball joint that is connected to the hub assembly easier to take that all off off the car then you just hang that new assembly on put in the bolts tighten everything up put on the wheel and drop the car I looked into buying the Detroit axle complete business like you say $200 a pop but just didn't seem reasonable to do these things fly apart when they're sitting on the floor so I just ordered the bearings and the ball joints and struts and what not as needed bolt all that together on the ground like you did and sling it up onto the car and tighten all the bolts get around to an alignment
