Lexus RX Wheel Bearing
- RX wheel bearing: heavier SUV body puts more load on bearings — wheel bearings may fail earlier than on lighter IS/ES if vehicle is loaded or driven over rough terrain
- RX 450h rear bearing: rear electric motor integrated — rear knuckle assembly; failure is detectable by hum and tyre wear change
- Heavy load warning: if RX regularly carries 4–5 passengers plus luggage — inspect wheel bearings at 100,000 km rather than waiting for noise
- Replace in pairs: if one front bearing fails, inspect the other side carefully — replace both fronts if the other side shows any play
