    Hey all. I’m new here. Basically I started having problems with hearing my bearing back in June 2019. So we changed it and than when getting my inspection in August of 2019 they told me the same bearing was bad and sure enough it was. Figured we just got a defective part from Rockauto so exchanged got a new one and Feb of 2020 sure enough it was bad again. So we said screw that part and went with CarID and paid more for a different bearing. Well here I am today and I’m hearing a loud noise I’m oh so familiar with and sure enough I get a wheel alignment and ask the guy what he thinks it is and it’s my bearing again.

    Any advice? Why would my bearing keep doing this? Should I just go with a genuine Toyota bearing or get the Timkin or could this be something else making my bearing not last as long?

    **side note we did change the Axels as well when doing the bearing this last time. Instead of just doing my driver side bearing we did both sides and my axels.

    Thanks in advance!
    Brittany

    Are you running wheel spacers or wheels with a large negative offset?

    No. It’s all stock parts nothing upgraded or fancy.
