2013 ES350 Rear Wheel Bearing
I'm getting a little rumble in my Lt Rear wheel bearing with just over 50k miles. I'm looking online at parts and the part number for the hub/bearing assy is 4246033030. It's showing up as a Toyota part as well.
Does anyone know if the same part matches a Camry or Avalon? The Toyota version of the part is about half of the price. Alternatively, can anyone point me to a good place to get a decent price on this part? It's about $420 on most sites with a list price over $500.

Talked to the dealer today with no luck. The bearing is part of the 50k mile warranty.
I ordered the part online and will be installing it myself. It's a hub/bearing assembly, so I shouldn't need a press.

Learned a few things I would like to share. First off, I ordered both rear bearings. First one is an OEM Lexus part, $450 online. Second hub/bearing assembly I ordered is a Toyota part with the same sensor/connector. Measured both with calipers and guess what....same part. I'm attaching photos of both parts (Lexus and Toyota) Toyota part was $160. I went ahead and replaced both rear hubs for good measure.
During removal of the first one, I had some trouble removing the wheel sensor wire. In the process, I ripped the wires out - New cable needed . Purchased the cable for $40 and took my time removing the other side. PIA is, you have to remove the rear seat to get to the other end of the wire...
I drove the car for about a week without the wire connected. The following lights illuminate on the dash:
ABS, Traction Control, Brake and BSM doesn't operate. Crazy that all of those are tied to the wheel sensor.
I replaced the wire today, took about 20 minutes including removing the wheel and back seat (bottom snaps in, back requires removal of 4 bolts and lift up and out).

Thanks for posting the bearing replacement details. Could be very useful to other owners.
So you now have a Toyota bearing on one side and a Lexus bearing on the other? Should make a good test to determine if they are of equal quality
