    Felt vibration in my steering wheel and realized its not from my 33" MTZ's. Took it to my local 4x4 shop and they did the tire wiggle test which revealed my driver side front wheel bearings were bad. Parts from Toyota were around $275 and the shop charged me $175 to do the install. Took them around 3-4 hours with pressing the bearing. Rather disappointed with this because I've never had to replace any other wheel bearings from my previous lifted Toyotas I've had in the past. Those all had atleast 150-250k miles on them before being sold. They don't build them like they used to
