Default Re: 2003 Highlander tire noise

There u gooooooo.. I hit a pothole when I went w/ family to Yosemite. Within a month my bearing started giving me wierd sounds...

Go ahead and replace both bearings (just like pads, always do it both at the same time). This is how you do it..

Buy the bearings from stealership or online (only TIMKEN since it has a parternship with NTK, Japan). Take the wheel, brakes, disconnect tire rods and balljoint, axle nut, push our the axle and the hub comes off as one unit. Take it to a good shop that has a press, they will push out the old bearing and push in the new one. Installation is the reverse.

Good luck and keep us posted.
