well you dont "HAVE" to fix them hahahha jk, that happens on all cars its not like honda and yota are unbreakable, i agree. but hey thats just sorta basic maintenance parts so your doing awesome for only minor things breaking!

Those parts dont normally go out, I am going to "assume" that at some point, a pothole did some damage. Since the damage was on the same side, that is the most likely scenario.

i had to replace a bearing in my front left assembly @ 38,000 miles, which really blew my mind cuz they should go a lot longer than that.

Mine is going at 55,000. I'm with you, I thought Toyota quality was better than this.

Replaced one front bearing at about 75,000 miles.Currently at almost 90,000 miles have a "pop" noise in the steering. Probably a ball joint, tie rod end, strut bushing or something. Need to locate it and fix it one of these days.Dave

I've got the bearing, but haven't looked at it in months.. lol..

It's a Sealed bearing pressed into the axle housing. Not hard if you've got a press to use.If you are clever and don't have a press you can fashion a remover / install tool out of some large pipe and fine threaded rod and a selection of big tractor sized washers.Dave
