i'm starting to hear some highway noises that typically points to bad wheel bearings. any ideas on where to get replacement parts? (i'm going to do it myself) i'm afraid to call lexus and ask their prices......

bearing noise is similar to a grinding whining noise, it's most noticeable when turning on high speeds. i'm surprise to hear this -definitely something out of the norm. what's your mileage...it may also be the diff. bearing?

HEY!
I have the EXACT same problem with my fron right wheel bearing. It makes a "whuuuuring" noise at higher speeds when I turn the wheel slightly.
The bad bearing is responsible for the uneven treadware in my tires.
I had one estimate done (i'm not looking at it right now) but it was just below $400 to get it repaired. Am I getting suckored?
I plan on getting some more estimates done soon.

i would guess parts are less than $200, changing the wheel bearing is usually not a hard job, haven't tried it on the GS yet so i don't know if there any gotchas there. i plan on doing it myself soon.
