    Hello, my brothers and sisters of Tacoma world. I have a question? I’ve noticed when I make turns or slow to a stop at a stop light or stop sign my Tacoma starts to make this buzzing sound as I slow down. I have a hunch it’s the wheel bearing but I am open for some suggestions or real advice or real answers

    Depends where the buzzing sound is coming from. How many miles on truck?

    To check the wheel bearings, jack front wheel off the ground. Spin wheel and listen (if it's really bad you'll hear it grind while it spins). After that, with wheel off ground, grab tire at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock position, and check play in bearing by trying to move tire. Do same at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position. There shouldn't be any play in the bearing. Check both sides. If you feel play, the bearing could be your problem. If one bearing is bad, replace both sides.

    Is it more of an intermittent electronic buzzing like the ABS is kicking in or is it a constant buzzing like a bearing?

    It’s not my ABS kicking in. Once I start slowing down it starts buzzing and once I get some speed it silences itself until I start slowing down again
