wkdtime Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 My rear n/s wheel bearing is fooked, the wheel has alot of play and also makes a metal rubbing nose when driving which gets louder as the car accelerates also the car feels very unstable and the rear wobbles (combination of fooked shocks and bearing i think). So my question is do i need to just order the wheel bearing or is there something else that i should order as the wheel has alot of play in it.

fredm Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 First thing to do is strip down the hub to investigate the causes of the free play. It probably is just the bearing but it could be more. Driving the car will only make matters worse, avoid it if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought id try and get everything first prior to taking it there as its getting quite a bit of work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Chris Wilson can get hold of rear wheel bearings - they're not Toyota afaik, but they're cheaper than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 You will also need to buy the inner and outer oil seals as well, i don't think they come with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I have a brand new rear wheel bearing here, £65 including postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct Colin, the inner and outer seals do not come with the bearings, so they will need to be ordered seperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
