Dealer says humming at 35-50 mph is due to failing rear bearing. With only 77k miles, this doesn't seem right. Has Toyota quality sunk this low? He wants $466 just for the hub assembly, plus $100 to install. I can buy the part at NAPA for $275 and do it myself, but I would rebuild it if I could. Can the hub be disassembled to replace the bearing? If so, how?

    no, not serviceable, just replace it. there are many factors with weather, driving habits, brake material and many other factors.

    just replace it and move on. napa, and other manufacturer are always cheaper than the dealer. the labor is correct for the replacement.
