I took the FJ into the local dealership service dept. because there was a noise in the front end that sounded like really loud tread noise, but it was not tread noise. I took one of the service tech's for a long ride so he could hear the sound/noise I was talking about. He had no idea what so ever, he could not even take a guess at what it was. I described the noise in this forum & the first two reply's got it right, both front wheel bearings are bad. Now don't you think a Toyota trained tech would at very least be able to take a guess at what it was, if not just know from experience? I ended up taking it to a different shop & took this guy for a ride, he guessed wheel bearing in 5 min's, but could not be sure until he pulled the wheels off. Just wanted to "Tell Toyota" to train better.
