A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician shoes you how to diagnose a wheel bearing noises from Toyota, Lexus and many other models with a method learned through experience.
In this video I share with you a method that accurately and easily tells you which wheel bearing is making noise without using any fancy tools or equipment.
and I also walk you through the replacement of this noisy wheel bearing on this 2004 Lexus RX330.
This method really works well on all cars especially the Toyota Highlander and Lexus RX as their wheel bearing noises can be tricky to pin point.

Having attempted to replace a rear wheel hub bearing on a 2002 Camry 6 years ago with a slide hammer and getting nowhere to the point of giving up and handing the job off to the corner gas station I really appreciate this video for the detail and care you've provided. I think your explanations and suggestions would have helped me a lot. The bearing hub got replaced with an aftermarket hub and 3 years later had to be replaced again, so your thoughts to whether or not to go OEM from Toyota for 3 times the cost of the aftermarket bearing ring true as well if intending to keep the car for a long long time. Thanks for the terrific video.

I live in rustville USA, and after using sandpaper, wire brush, etc I will always apply a little bit of anti seize to all parts so the next time it's even easier. As for staking, I like to use a rounded punch and just dimple in the slot, and then push the dimple out via the channel for removal. Have to say seeing the condition of the parking brake had me cleaning/lubing it from here. Nice video.

I'm actually glad a lot of companies (or most) went to a sealed bearing assembly where you just replace the entire hub. Pounding out a bearing can be a pain, and while replacing the hub itself is more expensive, it's cheaper if you're having someone else do it probably because it's literally a unbolt / bolt-on replacement. I was able to do my old Civic's rear hubs in about an hour (It took me longer than it probably should have because I didn't have a manual and had to sort of figure things out and take pictures as I went) but it saved me about $300 in labor (I had to do both rear bearings) as shops where charging $150 for labor and supplies at the time although I will say that I did sort of go a little cheap and used an after market assembly for $100 since I wasn't keep the car that long anyway. But if I was planning on keeping the car I would definitely get OEM hubs.

@kellenmonahan3136 11 ай бұрын

Just did this job an hour ago, took 3 hours, here are my complications for the DIY that do not have many tools. 1. Backing plate wouldn't come off of wheel bearing hub, took 30 minutes with 4 different hammers, 6 different chisels, and ended up using a pry bar and hitting that with a hammer. One tip is screwing the axle nut back on a couple threads so it holds the hub and backing plate on the axle making it easier to hit with your chisel and not have it fly off. 2. I had to smack the crap out of that hub to get it to break free. He was able to do it in a couple of hits but I had to wham on it for a good 20 minutes taking some breaks. Be careful of the parking brake components. So just like he said its really all about patience's. Many times I thought it wasn't going to come free from all the rust (South Dakota) and I was going to throw the wheel back on and get a air hammer but I prevailed and so can you. Thanks for always having the most high quality and straight forward videos!

The diagnosis is brilliant. I have a bearing going bad now, took it to the dealer and they say that yeah its a bearing but we can't tell which one. Keep driving it and come back when it gets louder. Well that's all fine and good but I need to fix it when it makes sense for me not wait until it fails. I'm pretty sure which bearing it is because I rode in the back seat and listened to each side. Nevertheless I do need confirmation and your hand on the spring method will provide it.

OK Car Nut a question I have found an answer for. As a DIY mechanic, I use anti seixe on bolts and nuts that have been more difficult or exposed to adverse environments , heat water corrosion. Why do mechanics rarely go to the trouble of using it when they are likely to disassemble the same parts in the future. It would look like it waould make your work easier.

@longhairmullet Жыл бұрын

What are the details for thermal method? Drive and break a few times to create heat? What is normal temp or just look for the one that is hotter than the other?

@andyg5004 Жыл бұрын

I got back back after a 30 miles drive and I had Amy thermal imager ready to go. Check the rotor temp on 4 tires and note the general temp for the rotors and if you find one that may be hotter than the others. That may be your culprit right there. The rotors were getting kinda dark brown blackish on the one fo the front wheel bearings, the bearing hub temp will transfer to the rotors. Once again my 2011 rav4 had 130mikes and I also noticed a drop in mpg. Once I pulled the front one out. It was making a light sound when spun and I could notice it wasn’t spinning as freely. Ensure tout caliper pistons are not jammed or your slider pins on the caliper are not jammed either to come to the right conclusion.

I had a 2018 Subaru that has lived a lot of it's life in the rust belt (Northeast, Vermont, Canada, the Florida beaches) which meant the hub was rusted and seized onto the spindle. The hub blaster could not remove it. This was a real pain. There's actually a design flaw in 2012-2019 Imprezas, Crosstreks, and Foresters with the backing plate that's been resolved with an updated part. To anyone dealing with rusty Subarus from that model year range, I promise the wheel bearing job will be way harder than AMD makes it look on this SUV.

Thankfully to this video, I've replaced rear left bearing, and it was really bad. Then, when replaced and I ride, I was able to recognize the rear right bearing, which was not far behind (maybe 6 months behind from the other), so I've replaced both rear. Right now, I can hear only front and it's not clear yet, what is it.. I like this life... PS: To remove disc, there are two bolts places. It's M8 bolt (metric, yes) that helps to remove stuck braking disc. Axle nut I've not replaced. Just used tught nail to "unlock" it and that is it. The tip 6:46, how to separate hub from the other things works really well. Just anything long and one single tap with a hammer. If doesn't work - do the same thing from the opposite side of the hub ( left and right).

From my experience if a wheel bearing goes bad, the other one on the same axle goes bad soon after. I check for crusted on grease on the dust shield, where the driveshaft goes into the hub. That's usually a telltale sign, because once the grease leaves the bearing it's only a matter of time before it starts talking to you.

Yes, I've turned changing out a bearing into a difficult job, but it wasn't a Toyota. Part of the bearing race had come apart and welded itself to the spindle.

Did the rear wheel bearing on my 06 Highlander the same way as shown here. I also went ahead and replaced the backing plate as well because it was rusted and worn out. This requires removal of the e brake assembly. After I was done, I just went ahead and did the other rear bearing a week later just because it had the same mileage as the bad one and, the rear backing plate was trashed on that side as well. Another way to tell if bearings are bad is to get on a road and make sweeping S turns. If the noise comes and goes when you turn, you know it’s a bearing as the play in the hub goes back and forth. Thanks for the strut spring trick. I’ll need to try that sometime.

I tried that years ago on a mid 70s dodge van. Replaced an outer axle bearing in the diff and the noise still remained. While looking at the back from underneath and the sun just coming over the roof, I saw a spot of light on the backing plate on the opposite side where I was working. One of the brake spring nails broke and I ended up having to do a complete brake job replacing all except the drum and park brake lever.
