Repair shops are less likely to have a vehicle tied up in the service bay, and owners get a job that no longer calls for special equipment. The part is listed under both names, steering knuckle kit and wheel bearing and hub assembly.
If you are planning a 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander wheel bearing replacement, a humming or grinding noise that changes with speed, or play at the wheel, may be a sign the bearing needs attention. Diagnose the cause before replacing any parts. This Dorman wheel bearing and knuckle assembly is for the front right position.
