#10 of 11 2002 Sequoia Grinding Noise by amybonk Nov 07, 2008 (7:20 pm)
I park my Sequoia on a steep driveway. Recently, when backing up the driveway and starting to turn onto the flat street, I hear a grinding or perhaps a slipping noise. Once I make it onto the flat pavement, the noise stops. Sometimes the tracking lights come on, sometimes not. The track lights have also come on while driving around town in the past week. Am I dealing with a computer problem, wheel bearing problems, both, or neither?
#11 of 11 Wheel Bearing problems? by lionbait Nov 10, 2008 (5:43 am)
I have an 2004 Sequoia with 44,000 miles on it. I have noticed a lot of "road" noise in the front end and took it to my Firestone Dealer. They said the right front wheel bearing had gone bad. Is this a common occurance with a car with so few miles on it? Also, has anybody tried to replace the wheel bearing on their own? Firestone quoted me 450.00 to do it, but I have found the parts (Toyota parts) online for under 75.00.
