Default Wheel Bearings

My steering wheel is a little shaky and I think I'm due for wheel bearings.

If I change my wheel bearings what parts do I need to buy? is it just the bearings or do I need hubs as well? Do I do all 4 bearings or just the fronts?

just curious why you don’t think your wheels are out of balance. Could be that simple or a bent wheel.
do you have aftermarket wheels?

I have stock wheels and tires with only 10k miles.

No, I was told by a mechanic they were going when I replaced my rotors. The front wheel shakes a little and i hear a little crunching at times.

Then i would purchase these kits with the heart next them and ask your mechanic to install them.
parts look to be around $250.
Or you can go to Megazip and order the Toyota parts, $$$$
