Default 95 LS400 rear wheel bearing

My rear driver side wheel bearing is shot.
I have searched for info and price estimates for this without any luck.
And the prices I have found ranged from 400 total at toyota to over 1200 at some dealerships.

Im guessing ill need a hub and all that good stuff too.

Does anybody have an accurate price estimate for this?

How difficult is this job? Can I do it myself If I take it to a shop to press whatever I need too?

if you cant tear it down and inspect the damage and see what you need, then no you cant do it.

www.car-part.com

if you arent equipped/able to find a reasonable shop to press a new bearing into the carrier for you, buy another used carrier.

knockoff the 77 that is someone trying to use the OEM number and adding their 77 on the end so Lexus cant sue them.... for using their numbers. why do you want a chinese part instead of japan??
until YOU tare it down and see what the real problem is, so you will know WHAT to order, all your questions are meaningless

I didnt even notice that they were the same number. thank you.
I will deffinatly be getting japanese parts though.

and I guess i did'nt accept until now that my car would be out of comission for a few days, hence the questions.


Thanks for all the help.
Ill post in this thread again beforehand if I end up tackling this myself

Well I had a firestone(where I know and trust the employees) replace my bearing.

50 for a oem nsk bearing on amazon.

labor was $350 to do everything.

my wheel speed sensor was damaged and couldnt be removed, so it was broken when they took everything off..
They discounted me the price of the sensor on the labor($130) and will install it for free if I get one.

So I only paid $220.

Glad I have a 95 and this only gives me dashboard lights not serious problems

I wasnt able to find my order to show you the exact one that I ordered. I ordered the OEM one which was made by NSK, but this should be a good alternative.

Bends in rims are some times the causes of a bad wheel bearing, and you may never even know it.
