Hi all,
Does anyone know the part numbers for the rear wheel bearings please?
Humming noise has started, changes with speed and not related to engine.
Hoped it was tyres as they were worn out but have just changed those and noise still there.
Guessing it's a wheel bearing unless there's another suggestion?
Many thanks.

Do you have an open diff?
could be on its way out.
Sorry to mention it but I bet I'm not the only one to think it.

Thanks F.C. sorry I should've mentioned that it's an M12 3R which I believe are LSD as standard.

Hi Tux, had Toyos on and I'm giving Kumhos a try this time. Not particularly high performance I know, but the value and reviews seemed good enough to give them a go.
Is this the right part please? Bearing SKF VKBA3575. Do they have the same bearings all round?
Cheers
Sam
