2023 Tacoma wheel bearing going out

Tacoma TRD 2023 only 32 thousand miles a wheel bearing going out. I think they only ordered one. This was the last of April and the part is on back order was told it was safe to drive. Has anyone had this problem before on the 2023s Thanks

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome to TW….had any damage to that wheel before..impact maybe?

 

No

 

You been sending it…

 

There have been plenty of failures here, but for the most part they are a decently long lasting part.

Is it a rear or a front bearing going bad?

 

It is the rear.

 

The rears seem to fail more commonly and randomly at low miles, so I’m not surprised. Still, not a failure prone part and failures are quite rare overall.

And I wouldn’t worry about the fact that they are only changing one. There is only a reason to change one. If you were at 150k then doing both would make sense but even then, doing both saves no time or effort, so there’s still only really a reason to do one at a time. It’ll be good as new when they’re done.

 

That doesn’t sound good especially at low mileage. Good luck

 

I had a front wheel bearing go in 2022 at 26,000 miles. Earlier that year I sent it hard enough to get my picture in the TW calendar.
