LOGIE Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Yep my OSR wheel bearing has a little play and noise so time to change it. Can anyone recommend a HIGH quality kit that doesn't take the mick (price wise) like MrT. Ebay does them for £70 but I don't like the look of them.

Chris Wilson Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Any branded bearing should be fine, so you need to find out the MAKE of the bearing, not who boxes it. If in doubt a genuine Toyota one is safest, given the work to change it. "Play"`usually means it needs a new hub flange as well, Toyota only part. The bearing starts to turn on the flange and a wear ridge ensues. If the flange is less than perfect, renew it!!!!! You need a decent press, beating it off and on is recipe for failure again, either immediately, or shortly afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I went for a set of auto motive on my rears. There priced at around £100 and come with all the seals. I'm got mine from wiffbitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris, I've ordered a wheel bearing kit now, when I say there is a little play I might be being too critical it is almost undetectable you really need to concentrate to notice it, and when rotating the wheel there is a rumble/grind. Is this likely to be the hub flange? or could just changing the wheel bearing fix this? I just don't want to buy unnecessary parts. Thanks for any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
