    Seems both of mine have serious issues. 2010 dbl cab 4wd with 4.0 engine.

    Part# if you know it. I've tried the last place I got the front 02 sensors (yes they were listed that way on their parts catalouge) but can't see to find them there (elcajon Toyota)

    Thx in advance for any help!

    Going off the Toy shops info. It's felt bad for several weeks and now starting to really get noisy. Left it there and he said the tech pulled out the axles and both sides are bad and need front hub assemblies. Can't swing the $1600 they wanted to do it, so thought I'd round up the parts and give it a shot, or have a local mech do it. Want to make sure I get the correct parts.

    ^The bearing probably went bad. The hubs themselves are probably OK, but it is very time-consuming to press the hubs out of the bearings (and it requires a 10-ton press). Buying the complete hub assemblies I linked significantly cuts labor time.

    I logged into blue pit, ordered 2 and then on checking out it said transaction could not be completed. Called the cc company to make sure no issues with cc. Nope, charge went through. Called blue pit and left MSG. I'm wanting just 2 new complete hub assemblies. Going to be driving this for another 100,000 and want to not do it again.

    Checked Marions website. 2 complete hub assemblies ALONG with 2 inner seals and shipping insurance turned out to be $160 cheaper then just the 2 assemblies from blue pit. Since there seemed to be an issue with my order with blue pit I canceled it and ordered with Marion's.

    Thanks guys!!!

    I just did mine a few months ago, I got the 2 bearing assemblies at advanced auto for $50 each and had them pressed for $10 at a Monroe. they were easy to install.

    :thumbsup: Bill gives the most details about the assembly methods, bearing selection, etc., which is a good way to develop trust in his process.

    Curious - why would you screw around with blue pit and almost get screwed in the process when when members with experience answered your question and told you to use Marions ?? Thanks for any reply - Curious George.

    Dura Intl sells a hub and bearing assembly, part # 29596058; on Amazon for $93. You'll need to get the seal and O'ring separately.

    Febest has a hub, part # 0182-GRJ120F; on Amazon for $56. They sell a bearing assembly kit, part # 0182-GRJ120F-KIT, that includes the seal and O-ring; on Amazon for $49.

    I currently have a Dorman hub (930-403) with a Dura Intl bearing (295-15040) on driver side; and a Precision bearing (# 515040) on OEM hub on pass side. Both are holding up well and I drive off-road about every other month.

    I wanted to come in and give thanks to all who had such kind words about me and my assemblies. I do work hard to make sure everyone gets what they need, and is happy with their results. I do support those who want to buy the parts and do it themselves, as it is always a great feeling having done your own work on your truck, but I do know that some people just don't have access to a press, and many press shops I have heard don't know how to press it all together properly, resulting in eventual failure. It's always difficult when one has pride in their vehicle to trust someone else to do this for them. For that I am thankful that so many have put their trust in me and my assemblies.
