    I need a new front passenger wheel bearing, when it's lifted I can move it a fair amount and the truck has started vibrating on the highway. I remember years ago there was a source for the entire assembly but can't find it anymore, any idea where I can get one?

    You can also get them on Rock Auto. They won't be the same quality as 05Taco's, but cheaper.

    I believe those are the same as the originals, someone correct me if I’m wrong. I was told this by a mechanic friend when we were replacing mine, I used those and they’ve been amazing so far.

    Yes, pretty easy job. One thing that I’ve noticed is that there is a rubber (dust?) seal that goes on the outside of the assembly that does not come with this set. Use the one from the old hubs or order separately.
    I’ve marked the location of the seal on the pic attached.

    OP, my advice to you is never go cheap on wheel bearings and always replace in pairs. Going cheap from places such as local auto parts store and getting duped with their lifetime warranties will make you curse the day you bought them.
    Wheel bearings are one item that I don't want or plan on replacing very often so go with quality, especially if you run larger tires or offroad. Pay a little more and go with the ones made by the TW member @05Taco4x4

    I'm using DuraGo bearings and hubs. I bought the pieces individually and installed myself; however, they now sell a pre-assembled unit ready to go. see # 29594446; $99 on Amzn. Check your suspension as bad ball joints, and to a lesser degree badly worn out control arm bushings, will show the same play you've described.

    I used the ones from RockAuto. Part #051-6470
    I have an 07’ 4WD.

    It came with the O-Ring and Dust Seal for the rear side of the spindle.

    I’ve got about 500 miles on it, So far so good.
    I’m getting ready to put another one in the other side this week some time.
    I think it was around $120 shipped?

    I ended up buying the eBay version and got them today. It says koyo on the box and the bearing, is there any reason to think it's not actually koyo?

    I also ordered the one above from rock, between the two which would you choose? I ordered 2 because I plan on keeping the truck until the wheels fall off so I may need to do this again for the drivers side.

    I can’t say for sure.
    Getting ready to do the other side tomorrow (hopefully)
    Then going to get it aligned and hope for the best.

    Here is my experience with both.

    Yeah, it's eBay! Price is not really telling; scammers will charge as much as they can get away with. Parts can be cheaply made, as well as logos and corresponding packaging. Buy parts your life depends on from authorized vendors, some of whom do sell on eBay.

    I went through about a dozen generic white box bearings at O'Reilly one day. The catalog description did not indicate what brand was inside. They were all Koyo.
