    Can anyone recommend a particular brand of rear wheel hub assembly? My right, passenger side rear wheel is starting to make a noises. Sounds like the ball bears are getting loose and need to be replaced.

    Thanks

    I used OEM Toyota. I believe there are aftermarket brands.

    I replaced my rears last fall and they needed it for sure but now I believe my fronts are going too. Same sound that was coming from the rears. :(

    I got mine (rear) from advanced auto parts. They have the OEM. It was about $250 ish.

    I find no particular reason to replace an accessible bearing prematurely...IMPOV

    Im only 57k miles on my 2011. I just had the front drivers side done free (covered under drivetrain warranty) but the rear is not covered past 3/36k miles.

    Ive got double confirmation that one of the rears is on the way out also.

    I would also recommend moogs from advanced auto parts.

    I just replaced my drivers side front wheel hub/bearing assembly. I ordered the part from Rock Auto. I have used them for years as they offer quality brands of all levels to suit your needs and budget and around re generally less expensive than the local stores . The brand I purchased was SKF as it had a 36 month/45k mile warranty included for $204.79. It is definitely a quality item and solid alternative to buying the part from Toyota. They had a Timken branded assembly for around $156 I believe as well.
