Second, are you serious?? What other threads on wheel bearings are there? You've given me ONE link that was from 08, that YOU started. Are you just trying to prove a point or something? Why couldn't you have just been helpful in the first place and told me your experiences with those bearings instead of sounding like an *** and telling me to use the search function.
Tom, I know that Timken makes some good bearings but if you can spend a little more, look into SKF. They make some of the best bearings out there that are used in all form of racing and provide bearings for alot of superchargers and stuff. Just call up one of there distributor and tell them that the application you need will be for a 2001+ IS300 if your car does not come up on their parts catalog.

Yeah man I've already done that. Jesus. I already said I tried looking and that all of those are regarding DIAGNOSIS or PROCEDURE to take them out. I'm looking for experience with BRANDS.

Yes, they share the front bearings as the 2GS.

I dont think its hard, its just that you need to take the hub aseembly to a machine shop to press out the bearings. From what I've read you need a 12 ton press.

BTW...when can I get a ride in your SC'd GS????? You should come to irvine this thursday, I'm throwing a BBQ meet.
