front humming noise

I have a 2009 4 door crew cab with 170K mostly HWY No Off Roading at all iam getting a humming noise as I turn the steering wheel slightly to the left on high speed on HWY basically when the car leans to the right has any one had this experience I have a feeling it is a bearing issue is there any kind.of recall or a bulletin on this issue?

 

Whats her name?

Oh and jack up the front and see if the wheels have play in them.

 

right front wheel bearing? jack it up in the air spin wheel and try to wiggle wheel left right up down. wheel bearings are common on our trucks. you would be out of warranty
unless you still have ecp

 

I have this extended Warren through Interstate which from my experience don't want to pay for any repair bit that's another issue going to dealer this Monday I post the finding thanx Gents wh at s with What's her name TRD Surgie???

 

The humming sound

 

Yaa TRD Surgie I wish thats the only humming I like to hear but no luck lol

 

Sounds like symptoms of a bad wheel bearing to me.

 

2X this! Mine was the front right bearing on my 2007. Luckily it was under warrantee!

 

The wheel bearings are fairly easy to replace. Even easier if you get the whole hub assembly from Bamatoy (no pressing bearings in or out).

 

Yeah thats much more fun.

Luckly Bamatoy makes a great hub bearing assembly. Here is his link.

Thanx for all your responds very helpfull also thanx for the Hub assembly Supplier TRD Surgi i generaly would do this myself but i have back issues right now jacking up the truck wrestling with tire is a problem sad thing is i love to change this myself but i guess the dealer gets this one

 

Back pain really sucks. Hope it gets better soon.

 

Front bearing is shot. Most likely right one. Got mine from Bamatoy, super easy install. Hardest part was getting the tire off. Damn rim was rusted to the hub.after that it was about an hour,and that was my first time doing it.

 

thanx Jerry joe wonder why the right none goes bad now to think of it this might be the the one that was changed when I got the car back in 2009 dealer told me it was bad and changed it under warranty truck had only a few K on it got to check it

 

went to the dealer test drove with Technician he heard it right away mu guess of the right or left was wrong the bad bearing was the Left front bearing , it was changed in 2 hours or so no more vib or noise so far once the weather gets warm i will change the right one myself , Thanx for all your inputs

 

Cool. Glad you got it sorted out.

 

i have a 2008 Tacoma prerunner, v6 standard transmission, with 101,000 miles. I had the exact same issue, loud noise from front end that seemed to get louder and louder over the past few months. The noise was loud starting at about 20 mph and got worse as I accelerated up to highway speed. The noise was worse when I began to decelerate. One day while driving on a windy state highway, I noticed that the noise stopped when I veered to the right. I consulted the forums and the symptoms I was having were a dead give away to the fact that my problem was a worn out wheel bearing. I took the truck into a certified Toyota mechanic in Ft. Worth Tx and they agreed. $600 and one new wheel bearing later, no more humming. I'm disappointed that even though I paid this truck off years ago, I seem to be making payments again to keep the thing running.
