ok,
Looks like i will be needing to replace my rear wheel bearings. All the shops in town only carry the hub+bearing assembly. I have however found a wheel bearing module. It is only the bearing and not the hub and is at a fraction of the cost.... $300 for the assembly and $80 for the module. I haven't taken apart the bearing/hub assembly and am not sure if I will be able to savage the remaining needed parts.... Need some wise info from all you gurus on the best plan of attack without killing my wallet! |

advanced auto sells JUST the bearing assembly
http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail....186&ptset=A  except the thing is toyota presses in the wheel hub then presses the hub and nut so you can't really remove it not sure if you'll be able to tell from this picture what i'm talking about but at about "2 o'clock" you can see where there is a pressed notch thats what is extremely hard to undo  basically to seperate wheel hub from bearing hub = HUGE HUGE HUGE biznatch This post has been edited by playr158: Dec 14, 2006 - 12:02 AM |

st hub will fit on a gt but doesnt have abs on it so your abs light will be on and unactive.

A single tire locking up in a panic braking condition with the others still rolling woudl cause a sudden pull to that side, possibly causing loss of control. --------------------  |

the abs ones have a larger hole in the center with this spindle looking thingy on the end, it just lets the sensor know somehow.
