My 'wong wong wong' sound is getting louder and just found out my Vios dugong 07 bearing getting worse, just change the rear-right bearing - the whole assembly part come as a whole - bearing with sensor and can't be dismantle just to change the bearing part... cost RM480 + workmanship. Heavy damage.

My both front also exhibit some bearing problem but both were overriden by the even louder noise of the rear-right bearing. I delay a bit the replacement as my pocket not deep enough to change tires & bearing together.

4yrs old Toyota car... can't last like the old times.

Probably without ABS they can save a little without the sensor built-in.

I got 1st batch of Dugong G. My experience for NVH, Honda Civic is only a bit better. And Altis is tiny bit better than Civic. And Sylphy is whole lot more quieter than both. For MyVi surprisingly my experience told me is a tiny bit better than Vios.


p/s: I drove and sit as rear passenger for the car above.

pp/s: And I feel Lancer is in the same league as Civic too (just only rear passenger). (or a bit worse)

Even Lexus LFA engines (1LR-GUE) is not using Valvematic - only dual vvt-i.

In terms of LYN F&F intelligence (Toyota fanboy & anti-fanboy) this means Altis engine = LFA engine.

Mine is 1st batch Dugong no remote trunk. So far no problem pulling from driver side or using a key.


Btw, so far I have identified 3 bearings malfunction and noisy. It is 4yrs already and I've just replace one (rear right) costing me rm500 (with labour). I'm thinking the both front would be around 1k if unlucky. WTF my old Toyota 15yrs+ and another one 20yrs also no such problem.

If that the case is the Vios that high maintenance (no longer a Toyota trait)? Cars like MyVi even if every 4yrs bearing change, each around rm150 - Vios bearing cost 3 times more than MyVi.

I'm thinking of downgrading...

The 1st thing I saw is the left one then the right one. The car last .




Not bad 99.9k. Mine before 60k 3 bearing kong. Toyota reliability worse than Honda. I'm not sure about Kelisa engine mounting... but if Vios engine mounting probably 3x the price?

Quiet because:
RM160 for front bearing.
RM590 for rear bearing (Thai; Jap one is RM800+).
RM150 for front absorber.
RM105 for rear absorber.



p/s: All Genuine Toyota parts.

Direct from Toyota genuine spare part stockist.

Asked the SC before to change one rear absorber cost me around RM250.

No. I just bought them.

Is your NCB reset to 0 after the claim?

Rear bearing have two type.

Genuine Toyota - One thailand, one japan. Thailand one around rm500+, japan one around rm800+. Stockist price, exclude replacement charge. Not sure Toyota SC uses which one and quote 1.3k.

Alternative one (Daihatsu) around rm380~rm400+ (include replacement charge) as I use this choice.


Front bearing only got one type Toyota Genuine is rm150, from stockist price. No idea on alternative.


p/s: if I remember the prices correctly.
