[QUOTE="RM Outback, post: 284001, member: 7093"] I don't own 1 but if anyone said to me from a dealer or manufacturer, replace wheel bearings every 20k I'd be concerned. With zero modifications I'd expect 100k minimum not 20k. If it's modified, lift kit , tyres size, rims diameter then you would expect variation of service intervals for things like wheel bearings, uni joints, tail shaft with slip joint etc. You could investigate bearing manufacturers and see if they have heard of the issue, if so they might have an option to resolve the issue. You could also contact a vehicle tester such as Paul Gover who will advise Toyotas awareness and position of the issue. If he (Paul Gover) is unaware of it he may offer to talk it through with Toyota, they tend to listen to people like Paul. This would be your best option to find out Toyotas official view. This way you can show the dealer email dialogue and findings if challenged. [/QUOTE]
