Price question?

[Dale Gribble]

Looking at having the rear wheel bearings/axle seals replaced in my 02 4Runner.

Whaddaya think I’m looking at $$$wise?

I know for a fact the passenger side RAS is leaking, but with 344K miles, figure I’d go ahead and get the other one replaced along with the wheel bearings.

Got a bunch of other work that it needs, too, but it’s stuff I can do myself.

Hard to say, there are always other factors and issues that are found. Good cal on replacing the bearings too. I'd recommend the bearing races also. If you are taking it somewhere have them check replace the carrier bearings/races and backlash while you have it there. I figured that would be around $1000. Be smart to have them put new brake shoes/pads and drum or rotors while at it.

They’re pressed on bearings. Usually with labor it comes out cheaper to buy a preassembled axle assembly with the bearing and brake backing plate.
