    A few bolts are different.
    Larry mine used to do the same thing after they got wet. I would put it in reverse and would get a loud bang. It did finally work itself out but probably only because things wore past that point of the rollers binding up on them self.

    That's what I'm doing. I know my tie rods are shot. I figured I would throw in new LCA ball joints just for the hell of it cause I have the spare set of LCA's. So when I get done Ill have new LCA's, tie rods, wheel bearings, LCA bushings.

    I do and I think it's my ball joints and bearings

    Yea, that's not good

    I think it's just a protector for shipping so nothing fucks it up. It also had a plastic cover on the one side I took off for the pic. If you want I can snap some more pics.

    Well I have bad news.... so I took new bearing a part and its the same $hitty desing as factory. It also has plastic cage.
    WTF Japan..... :mad:
    Also it contains cheap $shitty lithium No 2 grease .
    [​IMG]

    So my wheel bearing replacement is on hold until I find bearings with steel cage.

    If you need to replace bearing atleast dump Mobil red grease in it. Because that lithium will last like a month there and first time you get into water your bearings will be griding again

    WTF Japan.

    What brand did you get?

    Mobil 1 isn't going to eat the plastic is it?

    I thought they couldn't be packed full of grease because it would prematurely degrade the plastic. Something about pressure or some shit. Ill keep looking into it. I would imagine packing the crap out of them with some Mobil 1 would be a good idea and even if pressure built up it would be released by the seal. As long as the seal doesn't blow out all would be good.

    What do you expect? Aftermarket replacements are just reverse engineered factory parts with lower quality parts. The design is crap so unless you find someone that has redesigned the bearing, you're just going to keep buying the same thing with a different name on it.

    I'm going to have to say that is 100% not true of the ball joints and tie rods I got from Moog. They are much more beefy then OE and are serviceable. The rubber boots are thicker as well.


    I have yet to compare the bearings, but I will take note of the material used once I do.

    Returned NSK bearings and re-ordered Koyo's. Gonna get them 3-4 days. That sucks I was going to make a change this weekend but I guess I have to wait until next week.
    I think I am very disappointed in the whole thing. Once I get Koyo's I will see if they are plastic inside. I can't believe anybody would come out with such retarded idea. And lack of grease is even more disturbing. I guess Toyota had figured out money scheme. $600 per bearing replacement times 2 per car times number of trucks equal to
    600x2x700 000 = $840 000 000 thats 840 million of sure money. coming for lifetime of the truck.
    F...g scammers:mad:

    Well, after a week of wait my Koyo bearings arrived. Unfortunately they have also plastic cage. WTF...
    I check and my LC outters are the same so one can replace cage with rollers but I would have to buy 4 more bearings just to get That thing right. Atleast they put little more grease although it is still the crappy Lithium No2. :rolleyes:
    Oh well I guess I am installing them anyway, I will just pack them full of Mobil synthethic grease.

    If you reinstalling your bearings you may as well go with some cheap bearings because it does not matter. Get them cheap and pack them with good grease.

    We need guys to start taking pics of their bearings so everyone can compare them.

    Metal cage or plastic ?

    pic of my Koyo, you can see plastic cage. It is stupid because as soon as any dirt gets there that cage will be in pieces with rollers just flapping :rolleyes:

    Very disappointing..:mad:

    Looks like that needs to spend some time in the parts washer then get some good grease.

    Ok today I managed to get done pass side. Worked from 1 PM to 9 PM I hate NE. So many rusted bolts , it was challenge even for 500 ftlb impact.
    One item to note.
    Putting together new hub is some precision work. 20 ton press makes it happen but still hub needs to be pressed with a 1mm precision. Too much and seal gets crushed not enough and and it won't seal correctly. My inner seal was crap so had to be replaced too. Everything got new coat of grease. In short its PITA job but one bearing done one to go.
