While getting a free tire rotation, Cameraman Brian was told he needed a front wheel bearing on his 2005 Toyota 4Runner. I told him it would make a great video so we brought it into the shop to shoot the video.

This job turned out to be more than I bargained for. I ended up getting quite a work out from swinging my hammers. Yes, I used all my hammers on this job. I also put some miles in chasing the right parts. If you watching this Moog, change your listing for this part as it does NOT include the hub as you have listed in your catalog. In fact, I don't see how you could include the hub without also including the fasteners for the wheel bearing. There's no way to get those in there without separating the hub from the bearing.

Still, we got through it and made this video. Cameraman Brian is now VERY happy with his new wheel bearing, hub, and axle.

As for symptoms, he had an occasional noise when moving from reverse to drive, but that's about it. Like I say in the video, when wheel bearings get quiet, that's when you start to worry. Also, a problem like this does NOT cause a vibration, according to popular belief.

If you decide to do this job yourself, I recommend you get a hub as well as a bearing to avoid all the issues I went through in this video. Also, a shop press would come in very handy for this job.
