i'm about to change my wheel bearing.. i was curiose if there are any ... performance wheel bearing exists heh that i should consider instead of regular toyota/lexus ones?

 

Why are you changing them....If you don't mind me asking???

 

belive me .. not 'cause i have nothin better to do..

'cause one of them is bad and i need to change it to new one.. so i though i might as well get some perfoamnce .. if it exists..

 

a1exus, please post how you do that and how much did it cost. i think i have the same problem too but don't know what to do. Really appreciate it.

Unless you have been in an accident of some sort, the wheel bearings on these cars do not go bad. NEVER. They are monsters. and built very well. It does take a few specialized tools,time, and experience to change the front wheel bearings on a GS,SC,IS. Best of luck to you.
As far as performane bearings. None exist because none is required. The bearings on your Lexus is larger than those on a Porsche turbo,BMW M5, and a host of other cars. It is the bearing of bearings.

 

My friend has his left front wheel bearing replaced. Believe or not, bearings do go bad no matter how good they are made.

 

Got a 99' GS400 with only 45000 miles on it and my rear pass-side bearing is shot - is $500 (non-Dealer) cost remotely reasonable? To me, it seems RIDICULOUS!

 

how do you know it was going bad in the rear ??
