Brand New Front wheel bearings (2nd Gen)

Up for sale are a front set of brand new wheel bearings for the 05+ tacos. To the best of my knowledge the wheel bearings are the same for base models up to 4x4. Here is a link you can view for details and compatability (http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/BA00/0516140/03338.oap?year=2008&make=Toyota&model=Tacoma&vi=1441489&ck=Search_wheel+bearings+%26+seals_1441489_2978&keyword=wheel+bearings+%26+seals)

Good deal. Glws

 

hmmm next time i have my truck on jack stands im gonna check out my wheel bearings. How do I know for sure if they need replacing? The wheels spin good

 

not sure if serious

take short test drive then feel spindle for heat...if it's HOT jack up truck and check wheel for play

 

You will need them eventually blackhawk.

 

With the wheel off the ground:

- Grab wheel with both hands and try to shake it up/down and left/right.

There should be no play, you will know if you have play. If your bearings are really shot, you'll know too. Your truck will vibrate while driving and make a crazy buzzing/humming noise. It'll feel like a really bad tire wear or balancing problem.

 

Thing is, my truck makes enough noises everywhere that I cant really isolate them. The wheels spin good, no play, but isnt quiet when I spin them for sure.

Touching the spindle for heat is a good idea, i'll try that after i get home from work

 

Well the vibration/noise that comes from a bad wheel bearing is pretty noticeable. You know those grooves they have on the sides of long, straight, boring highways? and that crazy buzzing/humming that wakes you up if you veer onto them? That's how bad wheel bearings sound/feel. I know, I just did mine

 

holy chit, then my wheel bearings should be good haha.

My truck is actually really quiet when on a very smooth road. It just makes god aweful noises as soon as i hit little cracks on the road. Mostly rattly noises from the interior. I sounds like rain haha

 

Can't be worse than Vi's truck. Sounds like you could use an afternoon with a giant bag of zip-ties and some foam weatherstripping?

What psi do you run on the highway?

 

40 psi on the road

 

Good deal for what you got. GLWS

but there are cheaper places to buy em. O'REILLYS

 

Sounds about right.

Sorry about the threadjack Bobby. Totally forgot that this was a for sale thread.

Free bump

 

Dayumm. That's crazy high. Might be why you hear harsh noises when you hit broken pavement. I run 30-33psi and the tread wears pretty evenly.

haha no worries. I had all these TW notifications and was like holy hell what are they talking about. It's probably a good thing though. People can pick up a little more knowledge on wheel bearings.

I bought these thinking my wheel bearings were going out but after some shock tower gussets and a good alignment it seems my wheel bearings are fine.

 

That's what I run up front with my bumper. Could be what killed my bearings..

 

Evening bump

 

Uuuuckkk, made in China, wtf??? lol. I should buy these. I have 70k and getting mild rhythmic vibrations. Haven't checked play yet though.

 

bahah good shit made in America? That hasn't happened in like what.. 40yrs. Maybe one day it'll happend again. Then we'll all be driving GM and Fords

 

TTT
