Clever of toyota to put the bearing in the hub. I like that design. If things go really pear shaped you won't sit with a wheel and sideshaft seperating from the diff. This way it's contained.
Too bad that the drivers will continue driving on the bad wheel bearings till that hub disintegrates, and you get the wheel and shaft coming at you across the road. Common on taxis, have seen it twice on an oncoming taxi. Lucky for me both times the bouncing ball and stick missed me, though the second one went between me and the trailer I was towing.
I saw it happen, Sean, the vehicle was brought in on a flatbed with body damage too, some people do not realise the implications of not attending to wheel bearing noises on time.
Hi Mr Gary,i wonder if you could help with some advice... I drive a 2005 prado V6 petrol The car is noisy, humming I suspected the drivers side front wheel bearing, which I've recently replaced...(i still assume its coming from the front) The noise persist 😂 When i take a bend and steer right the noise goes away... Your advice would be highly appreciated
I am sick of idiots like you making negative comments on my channel as if you can do better with 3 subscribers and a few stupid videos on your channel, get lost if you have no positive contribution to make, do you even know what it takes to make a viewable UA-cam video, so keep your negative comments to yourself you TROLL.

Agreed Doc, great design, other manufacturers could take a page from Toyota's book.

It does sound like a wheel bearing, it could be a defective one you fitted.
