Description of the problem	Noticed the right front wheel making awful sound. I had my mechanic to take a look. It is the wheel bearings going out, but then proceeded to tell me that the rust is so bad underneath that all the hose lines will have to be replaced. Brake lines leaking, transmission line leaking. All will have to be replaced. The rust is eating away underneath the car like cancer. No stopping it. The sway bars are rusting into as well. Our mechanic will let us know how much it will cost to repair the lines... But is it worth spending the money on??? This is our 7th toyota that we have owned, always taken excellent care of vehicle, and i have never experience such a rusty mess. Love my 4runner but really don't know what to do with it!
