Looks like my time may have come, pending further diagnosis, but I believe I have a wheel bearing going bad. I have searched and read some threads, and it seems like there are several options for complete assemblies.
For those of you that have changed the complete hub assemblies yourself:
What did you end up buying?
How many miles have you put on them (the new ones)?
Were/are you happy with them?
Any surprise I should know about?
Thanks for the input!

I put two of these Dorman assemblies in about a year ago. I have 20K miles on them with no issues. Installation was straight-forward, but you do need to remove the axle nut and separate the lower spindle from the ball-joint. Toyota made that pretty easy with the two bolts instead of actually unseating the LBJ. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07964N7..._7CMfDbWNF6M1J
PSA, ordered a complete assembly from Marion. They never replied to emails nor could be reached on the phone. Disputed and Marion never responded to the dispute so I was refunded. I'm ok waiting if the wait terms are clear or communication is there. Marion was 100% MIA.

Just bumping for any current info as I'm geeting ready to buy 2 and I don't want to end up with Chinese junk assemblies.

I'm tempted, but hesitant as the only payment option is through zelle, which I've never used. Seems to sell a lot over there and the price is good. Anybody use him?
