tmf2004, you're input so far has been great, so i figured is ask for a little more input. I have MOOG outer tie rods, Im ordering MOOG inner tie rods, but for the wheel bearing, I was thinking of just getting this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-gs300-98-99-00-01-02-03-04-05-OEM-Factory-Front-Left-Driver-Spindle-Hub-/171686197564?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27f94b793c&vxp=mtr Now i realize theres risk in a used part, but This would be significantly cheaper to install versus paying $400 to have a new bearing pressed in.

well the bearing alone is around $100.. but its up to you... my only concern is how many miles are on that used bearing. Let me see if i can send you the DIY for wheel bearing

I saw the video, I just don't have the tools to do something like that. With basic hand tools, I could change this. To be honest, my issue isn't just lack of tools, its lack of time.

IF you got the tools then by all means give it a shot.. if you can a get a few years out of it then it was worth it... Unfortunately all i have are hand tools as well and it makes things really difficult when things could much easier with air tools..

When it rains, it pours. Hold on to the car for a while longer and replace those parts. Once they've been done, you won't have to touch them again for a very long time.
