Wheel bearing - complete hub assemblies

[Jivewalker]

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 believe lifestyle overland has a youtube video about this. Look them up, I believe it's what you're looking for.

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.

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.

Has anyone purchased the NSK assemblies from the guy over at TacomaWorld?

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?
