To me, this rule applies: "if it ain't broke don't fix it". In theory, I wouldn't disagree with a partial disassembly and cleaning, but this could introduce other issues if not done with extreme care. Imho, definitely do not replace the bearings, unless you know your current bearings have clearly measurable issues.

That said, I wouldn't completely ignore the internal gunk. I'd start by doing a synthetic oil and filter change. After that has run for a couple of thousand miles, use this product:

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.
