Hey Toyota Fan's,
Hope you all find this useful. On my 2005 Sienna Limited FWD, my driver side front wheel bearing started making noise less than a year after having shop put new
wheel bearings in. It didn't take long before it was dangerous to drive. Here's what I learned, I found the most cost effective way to solve the issue. I fond a set of
TRQ Suspension Knuckle Kit at PartsGeek for under $260 - Both Front Fully Loaded Knuckles. That was way cheaper than what it cost me to pay to have the wheel bearings
done a year ago.
TRQ has this Video of how to Pull and Reinstall: Watch Here
The Video shows you how to redo the wheel bearings, I skipped past all that and just pulled the old knuckle
Added a new ball joint to the new knuckle (Trust me its easier while its off so pull ball joint lower bracket)
Put the new Knuckle with all new sealed bearing and hub back on
Torqued the bolts to spec and was done in a few hours!
What you don't see in the Video is the Locktite on the Lower Strut Bolts and the Lower Balljoint bracket
