Waiting 6 weeks for Lexus shop to repair front brakes and replace wheel bearings. Yesterday told at least 3 more weeks before Lexus bearings available.
Anyone have advice for after market bearings and suitability. Car will be in shop for 2-3 months.

...coming from a Lexus or Toyota dealer?? If so, you can find the bearings online...e.g. Ebay or Amazon. Land Cruiser uses the same bearings on the front end. Front bearings are available all over.

If it were my truck, I'd find another shop asap.

lexus and Toyota dealers called. There is international back order for silly wheel bearings. 3500 orders in USA on order. Car can’t be driven. Lexus will not install aftermkt parts. Just stuck without the car for months. Other option. Have it towed to independent shop and install aftermkt bearings.
crazy.

Amayama has the inner and outer front bearings. The complete hubs are reasonable as well. I didn't check Ebay probably a bunch of parts on there as well.

Lexus dealer should provide you a loaner car.

Isn't Timkin one of the suppliers? Usually one need not replace the bearings, only repack. I have yet to replace bearings at 214K miles. I also had a 86 4runner (sold it in 2009 w/ over 200K mi) and never replaced the bearings on that, either...only repacked.

Toyota was able to do this for us within two weeks (one week to schedule and two days for all new parts.
