Ok so i own a 05 taco, 4wd. I recently was driving and started to hear a gridning poping noise from my front left side. well warrenty run out and all i decided to take the taco to my garage and figure the problem out, well i pulled everything apart and found that the hub assembaly bearings where shot. well i went to the dealer thinking i could just buy the hole assembaly but i guess you can only get the base and the inner part that holds the lug bolts. now i need help on what to buy to fix this. are the bearings removable? i dont know what i should buy, and am i going to have to find a press to take the hub apart? someone please help!!

thanks

Has your powertrain warranty run out. since your truck is 4x4 all the wheel bearings are covered until 60,000 miles.

That's what the warranty manual that comes with your truck is for. A lot of the time, sales reps don't know a lot about what they are selling, so you should always do your own research.

If he purchased it used from a Toyota dealer it has a 100,000 mile warranty being that it is a certified used vehicle.. And that warranty supercedes the factory 5 year, 60k plan..
