Wheel bearing

Topic starter

I have a 2011 Toyota Camry and my front right wheel bearing is making a humming noise and thinking about changing it but it’s A press on job. I was thinking about doing it myself or is it better Do you have a mechanic do the job? Also are the wheel bearings and hubs from AutoZone any good or should I stick to OEM?

You should be able to get a bolt-in hub and bearing assembly which does not require a press.

OEM Toyota is best. There are online sources for Toyota parts, many run by dealers who give a discount for online purchases. Beware of parts from Amazon or eBay that claim to be OEM as counterfeits have been a big problem from those sources.

@chucktobias no mine isn’t a bolt on. I have to press the hub and bearing out of the knuckle

I see bolt on hubs for sale for the 2011 Camry both i4 and v6 engines.

I also see knuckles with new hubs, studs, bearings and backing plates already on them . Ranging from $100 - $200, which is bugger all.

Besides OEM, whats a good aftermarket brand?


What do you have available to you?
stick to OEM if you can. If you go to rockauto.com, parts are graded by quality.


@imperator I was considering dorman since it’s sold as an entire unit. Otherwise if I get the oem, I don’t see the parts as one unit. I just saw the hub & bearing as seperate parts


doorman isn't great. Go for the Moog in my picture above from rockauto.com
