*The 1st Gen Tundra and Sequoia have two different size steering knuckles. The early years 2000-2002 use a smaller lower ball joint. 2004 is a split year and 2005-2007 use a larger lower ball joint.

If water, grit, salt or sand get to the bearings, the grease in the hub assembly gets contaminated. This will wear down the bearings, and they will eventually give out.

If you hear noises at the wheels, one explanation might be a need for a wheel bearing replacement at one or more wheels. The noises might be described as rattling, clicking, humming, growling, or squealing. It can be a real symphony of sound if you’re not careful.

The short answer is: Not for too long. Having bad wheel bearings can range from inconvenient and unpleasant to downright dangerous.

It is recommended to replace wheel bearings every 150,000-200,000 miles, if you are loaded heavy or off-roading often you may want to replace these every 75,000-100,000 miles. Wheel Bearing will start to make a rotational squeal or metal-on-metal sound when they have gone bad and should be replaced.

Recalls may not affect every vehicle of the same year, make and model. Use your VIN or plate to find out if your specific car has open recalls.

In theory, wheel bearings could last as long as your Ford. Unlike oil changes or tire rotations, there’s no standard maintenance schedule for replacing them. However, wheel bearings can be damaged if you hit a pothole, smack into a curb or bounce over a speed bump too fast.

The final option is to have Yota1 weld on a Total Chaos Spindle Gusset. To install these gussets it is best to remove your wheel bearing before installation. This is why we have this option, we weld on the spindle gusset before any other components are installed to ensure nothing is damaged by the heat.
