    Sounds a lot like our taxi Prius. Fitted a s/h hub from an auto dismantler, lasted about 500km before the noise fully returned. Ordered some replacements from a US mob on evilbay, 4 units including freight for the price of a single genuine unit over here .... crazy ....
    Just need to get the workshop floor clear of customers RV's so I can fit the new part.

    There is video on you tube, fairly easy and straight forward repair, just make sure you back off the brake shoes from inside the brake drum or the centre of the rear disc if you have rear disc brakes .... before you try to use the two bolts through the drum/hub to get it off the bearing housing .... you don't want to strip those threads .....
