And I thought it was only a LR thing

Was having a check round this morning and found a wheel bearing on the way out,deep joy. so have ordered a koyo bearing and gen seals from Simon. so is that the way forward? Toyota wanted over 200 quid for a gen bearing, what planet are they on

 

[AndyCook]

Which bearing? I have replaced both fronts in last 2 years with genuine

 

[David]

Drivers side shed loads of play in it

 

[AndyCook]

Front one? Replaced that in July 2012 with a koyo one same as Toyota and new Toyota cv joint. Inner two seals Toyota, but outer one was from milners. . .got local garage to press old one out and new one in

 

[Trevor]

Is it deffo wheel bearing and not the lower ball joint, they can introduce massive amounts of play when they are about to go.

 

[AndyCook]

Lower ballpoints on both sides replaced last September with gen Toyota at Toyota dealers in Elgin. What about upper joint, that's original

 

[David]

Can't see any play in any ball joints tbh i have had a bar in there

 

[David]

Yes Andy it is the front one from 2012 thats a fair amount of off road miles, maybe full of sand lol

 

[AndyCook]

Both sides were noisy when they went bad, but you have chunkier tyres so probably can't hear it. Yeah suppose it's done quite a few off-road miles, but I would have thought it would last more than the 25k miles it's done?
