    I used Dorman hub/bearing assemblies from Rockauto about 5 years ago. They were $110 and I've got 90k miles on them now. The stock Toyota bearings only lasted about 80k miles.

    I would try the SKF bearing assembly on rockauto. From what I read they are better than dorman.

    I suggest @05Taco4x4

    If you can’t wait, and don’t want to mail a check. I’ve heard Napa now sells assemblies using SKF bearings.

    I went with a NAPA wheel hub assembly.

    This must be the OEM bearing? It says Japan on it and NSK.

    I see Japan stamped on the bearing.
    The probability of it being OE is high.

    Good job on getting in there and getting it done:thumbsup:
