Toyota Forums _ Toyota Matrix Forum _ Rear Bearing And Hub Failure

Posted by: angelicwriter Jul 7 2007, 09:39 AM

I'm not sure if it's just normal wear and tear but my Matrix has 2 rear wheel bearings and hubs that I believe needs to be replaced. Has anyone else had this same problem?

My 2003 Matrix (4WD) had the front bearings replaced at about 110,000 km and the right rear bearing and hub at exactly 120,000 km.

The service manager said it's "not unusual". Toyota Canada say they "are not aware of any common concerns".

The rear hub was expensive = $380 plus $250 labour.

Prior to that it had a leaking rear diff and a leaking radiator. Both were replaced under warranty, as they occurred before I had 100,000 km on the odometer.
