    Hey guys. My passenger side front wheel bearing is toast.

    1) Do I have to get the whole hub assembly? Or can I just get a wheelbearing?

    2) What are the part numbers of the parts that I would need??

    3) Where is the cheapest place to get them?

    Around $26,000 worth of unleaded in the fuel tank.
    You can just get bearings. The auto parts stores will have them. I suggest you search for a how to on replacing them. There are many steps to follow.

    I'd get the whole thing because trying to press the bearing into a new hub is a PITA that you'll have to take to the shop to do anyway.

    If you're interested, I have a brand new bearing and hub I can sell you

    If you get just the bearing--I recommend TIMKIN==From what I researched here at (TCW) they are best.
    1st gen's are a pain in the ass--especially BALL JOINT removal.
    If you have the cash--let someone do it for you.

    What do you mean by TIMKIN? Is that a brand? If so is it better than the Toyota OEM one? And how much does it cost?

    does anyone have the part #'s for the Timkin or the OEM front passenger wheel bearing?? not the hub

    Find the wheel bearing thread, it has all the info you need.

    Timkin is a brand of bearing. Koyo is a great brand as well. As are SKF bearings.

    I can't find the wheel bearing thread you guys are talking about.

    Can someone give me the Timken wheel bearing part # as well as let me know what kind of grease and seals I'll need.

    Ok so now I have two choices.

    One of the choices is the SKF bearings with the hub and the other choice is the SKF bearings with out the hub.

    Will I need to purchse seels for both of these options???
