I'll have to pick up this stuff next for next time. My passenger side is making noise. I didn't torque it properly when I installed them.

$12 Super Lube 56204 O-Ring Silicone Lubricant, Clear

I wish they sold the Super Lube o-ring grease locally. I would rather use the grease over lubricant. The grease is a lot more expensive but would probably stay put better.

I'm wondering if simple silicone grease will work (rated for -40 - +400 degrees). I see a lot of plumbing sections at the big box stores carry silicone grease like the below and states ok for o-rings

you have any kits that would work on a 98 4runner 4wd

 

dang, that sucks sorry

no, I don't offer any others sorry

 

Really my reason for joining TW in the first place. Swapped my front wheel bearings/hub assemblies..(passenger was starting to make some sounds) if you don’t have a press or the time to do yourself, this is the way to go.. worked out beautifully for me! Quick and easy, noise is no more.

Thanks again, would highly recommend supporting this guy @05Taco4x4

I'll add on to the countless comments already here, if you need new wheel bearings/hubs do yourself a favor and hit up @05Taco4x4 . Got mine installed this weekend and SILENCE, my vibes are gone. I did it with the spare tire bottle jack and some basic hand tools (+torque wrench for axle nut) so if you have the time, don't spend $1k+ to have someone do this.

FWIW to those considering wheel bearings, my vibe went away when turning left but it was my passenger bearing that was the issue, this seems to be counter to the 'majority' of trends online but not all. Do yourself a favor and just plan to do both. If you get lucky on the first guess, now you've got a spare.

Thanks again for the great parts and communication!

 

They should always be replaced as a pair, if one is bad the other is on its way out.

 

How many miles on your first set?

 

My best guess is 33k. But to be clear I don't know where the previous hubs came from and I can't speak to the installation at all. It was done at a shop but not a Toyota dealer, from what I can tell on the Carfax.
The truck currently has 208k on it, I bought it at 195k and started noticing vibes around 200k.
Carfax Shows 'Wheel bearings/hubs' replaced at 175k. Based on how easy they were to get off (no rust penetrant needed anywhere) I'd say it was the fronts done at 175k.
Not sure how helpful it is but that's what i've got. I'd expect a lot more than 33k out of this next set though, they seem really solid!
