Diagnosing a Toyota Highlander wheel bearing
- Listen for the noise. A worn hub hums or growls, louder with speed.
- Check which corner. Noise that grows on a turn points at the loaded side hub, front or rear.
- Jack up the wheel in question. Rock the tire at 12 and 6 o’clock and feel for play.
- Spin the wheel by hand. Roughness or grinding confirms bearing damage, not a balance issue.
- Pull the VIN before ordering. Most corners on this generation have no catalog number at all.
