Starting to get some noise at about 60 mph just bought the car about a 1000 miles ago but it seems like it started about 500 miles ago.I dont want to bring it to a shop.i dont mind spending the extra money on parts if it will make it easier to do the install with out haveing to bring it to a place to have the bering pressed out and iback in .So is there a supply company that sells a kit for this .This whould be for the front on a awd .Make it as simple as possible. Thanks.

So do you KNOW it's bearing or you think it's bearing?
Did you test it?
As simple as possible is to replace the hub. Hubs are inexpensive. I am pretty sure, Highlander hub should also fit. Any time you say "Lexus" in the parts world, it somehow magically jacks price up higher.
If you intend to DIY it, bearing or hub, you will need proper axle shaft socket and impact wrench. You can rent "Front End Socket Kit". Unless you get lucky with cheat pipe, axle nut is a bear to undo without impact wrench. The rest is pretty easy.

I did jack it up still was hard to tell.I have had them go out on other cars and sure I could be wrong I do have a devault heavy duty impact electric like 700 foot pounds .and up to 32 mm sockets. I did look up rock auto seals a one piece Moog for $230. Yes may be a little more but kinda nice I can take the old out and put the new in rather than trying to find someone to do it.plus I work like u days a week so I will have to do it at night .so now I just need to make sure what side it is .

You have to be absolutely sure it's bearing, not half axle.

Great info. When I have replaced drive axels they used 2 click before.im going to do some more driving tomarow to investigate it some more.

Well, they start with click. then it turns into clickety cluck. Then it goes non stop. But if you already had them replaced, then sure, it ain't them.
