Front wheel bearings

[Calimander]

I recently changed out my front wheel bearings on a 05 V6 SR5 with new ones by the bluepit guys. I had bad vibration at speeds over 50 mph but wasn't totally sure because I never had to replace wheel bearings on a car or truck in over 30 years of driving cars to 200,000 miles plus on them. My 4runner only had 110k on it. After I took the bearings apart the reason was apparent. No grease left in them. Just a warning to everyone to expect that you will need to replace these boys sometime after 100k. I also did my torn boot CV shafts and frozen brake calipers at the same time for about $900 in parts.

I have had the same issue starting at 90k miles with bearings. Luckily that's the only issue I have had with it.

I wish I was that lucky. Head gasket at 94k. Transmission torque converter that is bad but I'm living with it. It blows codes for the catalytic converter every other week. Pretty much everything you read about on this forum has been a issue for my 4runner.
