Can anyone tell me if replacing the front wheel bearing for my 4Runner is a job that I can undertake. I'm pretty confident with what I can undertake, just not sure if I'm opening Pandora's box on this particular job.
I've already replaced both CV axles, thinking that the vibration noise that I hear was from them, but no. As such, I'm pretty intimate with breaking apart the front end of my car.
I still get a low pitch vibration coming from the left front of my car. The sound starts when I reach about 25 mph and gets worse when I turn the wheel to the left. I made sure that the front diff has plenty of gear oil and I topped it off but I still get that vibration. I'm not sure what else would be causing that type of vibration.

Have you done the job yet? The post is a few months old.

Yeah, I already took care of it. I had a local garage do the bearings because they have to installed with a hydrological press. Thank you though for your interest

thats pretty crazy. never heard of wheel bearing problems on the new ones. How many miles are on your 'runner?

mpfjax

Currently the mileage is 210,000. I did the bearings at 196,000.
