Hmmm, that seems strange to me. Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just get a brand-new wheel bearing from Toyota?

Also, how would you place a claim if that used wheel bearing fails in 3 or 4 years? I have to wonder if that used parts importer will even still be in business. With a brand new bearing from Toyota, it's less likely to fail AND Toyota will still be around at the end of the warranty period.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
