and I also walk you through the replacement of this noisy wheel bearing on this 2004 Lexus RX330.
This method really works well on all cars especially the Toyota Highlander and Lexus RX as their wheel bearing noises can be tricky to pin point.

Hey guys, im sorry for the off topic comment, but im having an issue with my lexus trunk. it will not open fully. i’ve tried PBD settings. It won’t open with key fob, inside button, buttons under lid or waving hand over symbol.
i posted a video “Lexus RX350 trunk issue “. If anyone can watch it and tell me how to fix, that would be great.
I cleaned up the knuckle ID and used copper anti seize. Toyota has excellent engineers and car designers. Not perfect but good. PS: I only use oem parts. Thanks
You are an excellent “teacher”. So spot on with guidance recognizing a job that can be easy or how it can easily become a mess. Yet encourage us to grow as a DIY’ier. Three thumbs up!!!
Perfect timing! I am getting a noisy bearing on my RAV 4 and could not locate which bearing is noisy. Never saw the hand on the spring tip. I will try that today. Thanks a million!
Thank you Sir. You are the man.
AMD another good one. I have a question about a 2021 RAV4 hybrid limited. I noticed that when the hood is closed there is a gap between the head lights and the hood. Is this for a reason or just a Toyota thing. I used weather stripping and sealed it up to keep to keep the weather out. Thanks
Off topic, sort of…had my 2011 Highlander Hybrid put in shop, told them I likely needed ball joints and sway bar links. They only replaced sway bar links and said they did not hear the noise I heard. Pulled away, still hear the noise. I purchased ball joints myself the day I left the shop. Anyway, daily I get a tingy clink clink clink from front driver's side when pulling from stop, and a rough clunky crunch grind when stopping sometimes, but this rarely. I also get a gravelly sound when turning. What could this be? The ball joints are clearly worn and not replaced yet, but wondering if this sounds like more or all due to the ball joints. Car has 146,xxx miles. And, idk what happened, but when loaded down to move items to storage, I stopped for stop light and heard a rough "errrr", sounded like metal to metal, but I felt it in the gearshift bc I always hold it from habit of learning on a stick…maybe a loose mount or something?? Please, I don't want to be screwed over by the shops or spend more on unnecessary parts. You're the best and have helped me tremendously with your videos!!
Thank you for how to diagnose it and repairing it with details.
Will doing the front be any different, I normally replace just the bearing but never the hub bearing.
Need this knowledge so instead of bearing only, I am going the whole hub for the sake of mind.
Thank you once again.
Edit, funny as I finish typing this you mentioned about the pressed hub in the front. Been awhile doing one. Look forward to seeing you do the front to gain more knowledge.
Should thread anti-seize be used?
Another amazingly thorough and well thought out and detailed video.
Thank you. 👍👍
