Lifter Failure

Yea that recycled Toyota tin doesn't make for a very good lifter or cam. lol
Maybe the tin, but I'll take recycled Toyota steel any day. I just changed out the dr.frt. hub brg in the '06 'rolla w/a kit using the OEM Koyo brg., I hit a fresh gaping chuck-hole in the winter almost 3yrs. ago buried in slush w/a fresh 1" dusting of snow, BAM!!! Mother F'er, sure enough a week later it started to lightly hum, when I changed it(yes, almost 3yrs later) it was growling bad enough to make the key ring/keys sing to Me! But I checked it repeatedly, no play, & easy to turn by hand....life & circumstances put it on the backburner as long as I was confident it was safe....sure felt good to get it out of there......:p.....at 230K
