    I have a 2021 TRD OR with 98k miles.
    Since new, ive always had a whisle sound around 40-50 mph seemingly from the driver's side. Chocked it up to the needle bearing.
    Well. I just replaced the needle bearing with the ECGS kit. The whistle is still there, and got extremely worse. My drivers side wheel bearing is toast. Might have made it worse taking the axle in and out of the spinde and that was the last straw for it. I think its been on the fritz since I bought the truck.

    Long story stort.. I need to replace the driver's side wheel bearing and hub. But you cannot source that pre-assembled from Toyota. What are some trusted brands to use for this? Also, I found deep in the forom from many moons ago someone was selling the assembly here on tacomaworld. Is that still happening?

    I have replaced over a dozen with Dorman complete assemblies. No issues at all. My truck has the duralast HD bearings (I have a press so used my hub) and wheel hard with spacers with no issues in over 50,000 miles.
