Better description
sounds like a whew whew whew whew gets real bad when i step on the brakes....dunno how else to describe it....i think i can feel it in the steering too...sounds like something is just worn out and definitely needs to be replaced.... its not normal not right thats for sure.....wish i knew some people in AZ that could help me out....

if it sounds like i think you are trying to describe then it is a wheel bearing. it kinda sounds as if your tire is rubbing against something right? and as you slow down it sounds like a lathe or drill press winding down right....

yeah, you might just check most of your front components, another sore spot on the IS is the LCA bushings. if youre swaying a bit on the highways youre probably in need of them.

things wear out, thats just how it is.
the wheel bearings are kinda pricey, check autozone though, may be able to get a lifetime warranty one. then just take her to a good shop to get the old ones pressed out and the new ones pressed in. as for the lca bushings, gotta go through toyota. I know Figs is working on some after market bushings but they aren't out yet.

Yeah i knew it
Are the LCA's an important part of the suspension?

you might need a shop to do it unless you have a pressor to press the wheel bearings in, i had the same problem and it was the wheel bearing. If you wanna test it out, just jack it up, shake the tire and if its loose then its the wheel bearing. Tighten the lugs and shake again, if it still moves defintely the wheel bearing
