    Any recommendations on what brand to get for a front passenger hub? My hub is bad and I'm trying to figure out which brand to go with... Ideally I would want to get a new bearing & hub assembly because that would be quicker and easier?

    (2007 Tundra 4WD - if that matters)

    I would try to figure out who supplies the OEM Toyota bearings. And see if you can get them through local parts store. I'm not sure who supplies them though. Never had to replace my Toyota truck wheel bearings. Knock on wood... But on other vehicles have had bad luck with aftermarket stuff. Definitely don't cheap out on it IMO. I liked this guys video---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ3gL6PIy2c&ab_channel=ViktorG

    OEM are made by Koyo, and SKF are / were Koyo bearings inside the SKF box.

    But both of those are the bearing without the hub, that needs to be pressed apart / together.

    I know Napa has OEM Nachi brand (made in Japan) for the rear. Might see what they have. Def recommend OEM like others.

    So buying the complete hub assembly is just smarter because it wouldn't be as much of a hassel?

    Definitely easier for a DIY'er without a press.

    Brought it to a tire shop for an alignment and the guy there told me, I jacked the truck up when I got home to try and see if I can wiggle the wheel up and down but I can't, I'll take off the wheel and rotor later and see if I can wiggle it later. Might call Toyota and see if they will check the alignment on the truck and hub for free... but ya know stealership
