2006 Gs450H N/s/r Wheel Bearing?

[coneybiller]

Well after my squeaks and a couple of rattles which Ive had fixed, to my major oil leak which I've also had fixed, I now find myself needing a nearside rear wheel bearing! Groan...

Lexus want just over £400 for parts and labour which i think is a little excessive and was wondering if I could get the part myself from somewhere other than lexus! They want £200(ish) for the bearing/hub assembly and if I can get it cheaper elsewhere then I'll be chuffed!

Does anyone know of a place that could supply me one?

Hope you can help

Thanks

Sorry to be the posible bearer of bad news, but on my original GS300 I too had a rear wheel bearing fail, which I replaced only to find out that the noise only partially abated, due to the other side failing also. So be prepared for doubling your planned expenditure. Mine both failed after around 150,000 miles.

Ive bought parts from cheaptoyotaparts mail order. Prices for OEM are about as good as I've found.

I had my front wheel bearings done replaced recently, £157 each inc parts & labour was on a mk2 though. HiQ (www.hiqonline.co.uk)
