    I have a 2009 Tacoma 4x4...when I am driving I am getting a humming noise from the front end. When I turn right the noise stops and comes back as soon as I am going straight again. I just replaced the bearings on the front right side and the noise is still there...anyone have any ideas??

    I have the exact same issue and like you diagnosed it as a RH bearing going bad and like you I replaced the RH bearing and still have the noise. I'm about to replace my LH bearing since that one feels dry so I'll keep you posted.


    Cheers, James

    So, I replaced my LH front wheel bearing this weekend and the noise went away! Wooohoo!

    I purchased my setup from a member here who sells the hub and bearing all assembled. If you do a search you can find him. I can't remember his exact name off the top of my head.

    Cheers, James

    I just picked up a '05 last friday from a local Toyota dealer. It made the exact same noise. I took it back yesterday and they replaced the left bearing and resolved the problem.
