GS430 Wheel Bearing part question
Well for 3 years I have been driving with the most horrible wheel bearing noise, thanks to the dealer blaming it on tires while the car was under warranty. I've been living with this crap for too long.
I jacked up the front of the car and the front right bearing makes a horrible sound as the wheel turns. I want to remove the knuckle from the car and take it to a shop to have the old pressed out and new pressed in.
Is the wheel bearing the only part I will need? Do I need the "wheel seal"?

you have to take some where and have it checked out
also take it some where , where they worked on lexus's
the wheel hub, and all the stuff is right by the abs sensor
if breaks your fyked for $200-300 for the sensor !

ABS light never comes on.
There is no play when holding the wheel at 12 and 6 o'clcock.
Spinning the wheel makes a popcorn sound, continuous pop-click-pop-click-pop.

I had replaced the wheel bearing 3 times not realizing that the bearing seal was worn out. Always replace the seal.
You can rent a bearing remover from kragen...spray the bearing with some lube before you press it out (you will discard it anyways so you don't need to worry about the wd40 mixing with the grease). Use some synthetic grease for new bearing if the parts for the lexus needs them (Mobil 1).
Never did the lexus bearing but it should be the same method.
The pop and click sound is probably due to housing that holds the *****...(speaking from the maxima bearing)..it probably cracked due to failure of the grease or something. You'll hear a humming sound coming from the wheel when it gets really bad.

Are these the correct part numbers for a front passenger side wheel bearing for a 2001 GS430?
90903-63006 (or 909036300677) - Lexus OEM Bearing (For Front Axle Hub Rh)
43514-50010 - Lexus OEM Front Axle Hub Grease Cap Rh
Do I need the Lexus oil for the bearing?
90903-63006 (or 909036300677) - Lexus OEM Bearing (For Front Axle Hub Rh)
43514-50010 - Lexus OEM Front Axle Hub Grease Cap Rh

I would check with the dealer. Ask them about the grease. Some bearings do not need grease (it's already in there) and some do need it. I don't know for sure but it may be unsafe to mix greases.
I don't know about the parts number but you do need wheel bearing seal. I searched the web and saw someone mentioned this for the SUPRA:
90903-63006-77 frt bearing list 70.79 cost 52.35
90311-50008 seal list 7.82 cost 5.78
UPS ground 8.50

Ok, I got no clue what's wrong now.
I took the caliper and brake disc off and there is no weird sound coming when I turn the hub. I am pretty sure nothing was dragging or causing the sound.
To confuse the sittuation more, the same front passanger side that I thought I had the wheel bearing issue got a flat from eating through the inside of the tire so serverly. I had an alignment done about 2 years ago when the new tires were installed.
What's causing my horrible road/humming noise that I get? It's so much better now with the new spare on but only gets worst as the tire wears down.
