So I believe it’s time to replace our cars wheel bearings it’s starting to make noise. I plan on checking for play in the wheels later.
Anyhow I called autozone and orileys and neither place has a completely assembled hub with bearing preinstalled. Does anyone know of anywhere online where I can purchase a pair of assembled hubs ready to go? I can’t find them on rock auto or amazon either. I understand the bearing is replaceable but I find it a whole lot easier to just swap out hubs since I don’t have a press or any machining tools.

Not sure you can buy the knuckle with bearing installed. The yaris isn't built with a replaceable hub/bearing unit but rather a bearing that's pressed into the steering knuckle.

Your best/cheapest solution, I believe, is to remove the knuckle yourself and bring it to a shop to have the bearing pressed out and a new bearing pressed in. This will save you the labour to have the knuckle removed from the car by the shop.

Pressing the bearing out and the new bearing in should only take a few minutes. My shop charged me $40 to replace the bearing last time I needed one done. I just brought them the knuckle. Not the whole car.
