Bad wheel bearing
Hi all,
I have a 2005 4runner 4wd SR5.
After doing research I found that one of my front wheel bearings is bad. My symptoms are there is a loud noise and a vibration coming through the steering wheel. When i'm driving straight or turn left the noise is evident. When I turn right, the noise disappears. I know noise travels but it does sound like its coming from the drivers front side.
I did find a good youtube video on how to replace it but my dilemma is which side is has the bad bearing. I don't think that the driver and passenger side bearings are interchangeable, so I just need to get the right one.
Bluepitbearings.com front wheel bearing hub assembly on a 2003-2012 Toyota 4Runner - YouTube
With these symptoms, could it be the driver side? Or the passenger side?
Thanks in advance,

Jack up truck grab tire at 12 and 6 and which ever one has play is the bad side
That being said might just want to change both sides
And yes the wheel bearings are interchangeable aide to side

Also make sure you change the dust seals on spindle when your doing them
Otherwise you will be doing them again sooner then you may expected
As well as a new o ring

Don't make the mistake of ordering the different parts and thinking you will get it cheaper than what this guy is selling the whole complete unit for. LOWEST PRICE complete front wheel bearing assemblies ANYWHERE!!! I made that mistake, had to send the crap I got back and order from these guys. They are awesome! and by far the cheapest you will find.

On my 4runner, when I turned right the sound would go away. This lead me the believe the right side was bad because it got quite when unloaded. Turned out the left side was bad. Something with our suspension geometry actually made the bearing quiet when loaded, turning right.

Thanks for posting this link! I need to do my bearings this spring as my seals are both shot. The only places online I find with complete bearings are $$$

Try the wheel rocking method? That's how I knew for sure which was bad.
