    Howdy y'all looking to see if anyone has advice on if I am on the right track here with my diagnosis.

    I bought my 2011 with this issue and now its really starting to annoy me and for the life of me I am having a hard time tracking down information on the 5 lug front wheel bearing replacement. If that is even the problem.

    The symptoms are when under any breaking condition Light, med, or heavy the truck will shake through the seat and steering wheel. The break pedal does not pulsate as if it were a set of warped or uneven rotors.

    from what information I can find about the front hub / knuckle assembly it looks like everything is pressed together with the exception of one retaining nut on the back of the hub and one C clip behind the bearing. This is all throwing me for a loop as I have never encountered a setup like this since I have only delt with Detroit made items and one Toyota sedan.

    Any ideas, Knowledge, or questions are welcome.


    Before I get grief for buying a 5 lug truck it was cheap Sub 10k, less then 100k miles, and it has a 5MT.

    You have one choice:
    I did a quick look around and didn't find any assemblies ready assembled...

    Remove your existing steering knuckle and have new bearings seals etc pressed onto the steering knuckle.

    Parts needed for each side:

    (2) Seal, Oil 90311-A0003.
    (2) Bearing, Wheel 90366-A0001.
    (2) Ring, Snap 90521-A0001

    *The Cap, Grease Retainer is frequently damaged by removal if you aren't careful Part # 43442-04010

    Just the bearing: ( I wouldn't recommend this, All or nothing in my opinion )

    Yeah that's what I thought. The biggest issue is I dont own a press and no shops in my small town do either. I would need to run it about 30 min down the road to the closest shop with one. Might be worth while to go to HF and get the 20ton press that's $50 off right now.
