Car eats wheel bearings, Whats going on. Options

[qatar11]

If you scroll up - you'll see I listed the part numbers for the bearings and the seals.... buy the hub new at Toyota or buy a whole knuckle / spline at a junk yard and take a flyer...

I had a problem with wheel bearings, too. Also check that the caliper sliding pins aren't rust-locked in place (so the calipers would pull/push instead of pinch).

Gatar: Thanks, ended up ordering wheels seals and the hub from a toyota dealership in the states, and found the bering locally.

Purplegt4: where are these pins located?

[purplegt4]

On the caliper bracket.



You see where the caliper bolts are screwed in? See if that's seized or not by removing the caliper and try to pull out and push in. There's a rubber boot around it. If it doesn't move/slide, your brakes will wear unevenly and stress your bearing.

Thanks a lot, my brakes have been kinda noisy lately so Ill have to take a look.

Was using OEM bearings.
How quickly were they wearing out?
Mine are wearing quicker than they should, bu not extremely quick. 6 to 8 months maybe? I know thats not the best way to estimate the time but thats the best I can do. And its daily driven.

Um.. probably 2 races... so 35 Hours or so. Which is a totally different world in terms of wear and forces applied... Actually we haven't had much luck between bad hubs and loosening axle nuts... WHICH there is a TSB for:
