    Hello, I am a new Toyota Tundra owner, I bought a 2016 with 215 thousand miles and the ABS sensor turns on and off, I checked the sensor and it is full of grease, I have seen some videos and they talk about changing the ball bearings, I have decided to change all four but I am not sure where to buy, of course buying at the Toyota dealer would be the best, but if I can save something by buying from another brand it would be good.

    I would appreciate if you could recommend a brand, since I cannot trust AutoZone, Advance Autopar and O'Reilly stores completely.

    I remain attentive.

    OEM. You’re paying for quality control.

    Aftermarket parts are not worth the cost savings any more. Consumables like brake pads are arguable, but for durable parts like chassis components, just get OEM replacements.

    Edited to add… assuming you plan on driving the truck for more than 30-40k miles

    I ran Timken bearings in my old Fords and apparently they make them for Tundras. Who knew Home Depot sells them?! and they're already pressed in...

    Thank you very much for your reply. I am still waiting. I have not made a decision, although the ABS and traction control lights have already come on. I checked the sensor that goes inside the space where the ball bearing is, but the sensor has been damaged. It is rubbing against the ball bearing or part of it.
