RidgeRunner41 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Just thought to share a fix on strut replacement. Had a rattle type noise on the front right wheel, especially when traveling over a bumpy road or asphalt patch area. Changed out both front struts today to try and correct the problem. During the replacement, found the right strut bearing was defective. My favorite parts store, AutoZone doesn't stock this bearing so went over to Advanced Auto. They have it but in a kit with the upper suspension support for a mere $ 74. The new strut was only $ 84 at the Zone. Anyway, going to check with the dealer on trying to get just the bearing. Would appreciate it anyone knows if you can get just the bearing from a Parts store as opposed to the dealer parts dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leighcm Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 There's a technical service bulletin on this problem. The dealer may potentially fix it at a relatively low cost (Toyota may contribute a bit to the repair). Check out parts.com for low prices on Toyota parts.
