So today, I'm driving around, like I usually do, and I hear a familar and unwanted clunking when I brake, as well as some higher pitched irregularly spaced noises.

I think my right rear wheel bearing is shot. Again. I replaced it a little over 1K ago, and the aforementioned noises were present before I did it, and magically disappeared after. My hope is that I'm just retarded, the bearing is fine, nothing's on the actual axle is loose, and I just need to replace my worn struts/sway bar bushing/something else not expensive.

I jacked 'er up after I got home, wiggled the tires, sure enough, the right one's got a little play, and the left one's tight as <insert vulgar term here>.

Any suggestions?? When I replaced it a month ago, I just bought a wheel bearing, and ended up paying almos the price difference of a wheel bearing vs bearing and hub assembly for a shop to press it.

Shiza, I'm going to go punch a wall or something.

Thats what i did with my old celica...i replaced three bearings before I realized the hub was knicked....

i went to a junkyard...grabbed a spindle and replaced it...

im not too sure but i think the camrys of the same year as your celica may be interchangable......again NOT SURE
