    :argue :mad::mad:

    I had noise coming from passenger side, was informed at Toyota Dealership it was tire noise. I went on road trip to Kansas and it became worse. When I arrived in Kansas I jacked up front end and grasped to and bottom of wheel and noticed quite a bit of movement, I removed wheel and backed off brake calipers and spun rotor there was some bearing noise, I grasped rotor and it to rocked thus confirming my suspensions. I was able to use a friend of mines shop to press out hub and install new bearing. being I didn't have the proper tool to set retainer nut torque to spec, I made a tool and tightened it the best I could. well it got me home. I decided to have both front bearings replaced so I removed hub assemblies took them to Jim Norton Toyota in Tulsa Oklahoma. And as you can see by my video the results were less than expected from a certified Toyota repair center.

    Got vibration now, I am going to wait till it fails completely and sends me and the truck in whatever direction it does, then sue the living hell out of Jim Norton. as I have documented this whole fiasco. Never been one to allow myself to be in harms way or risk putting others there. but I have exhausted resources to remediate this issue with Jim Norton Toyota.

    Dude that's shitty service. I can vouch for Bamas hubs since I have them on my truck and it's been about 20k miles with no problems.
