    1. I replaced a wheel bearing but the dust deflector is missing, how critical is this?

    2. Does anyone have a spare steering knuckle for the driver's side on a Gen2?

    3. Is there an aftermarket source for the weather stripping that goes on the hatch? Not the part that lifts up, but the big one you see when opening the hatch. A new one is over $200 from Toyota.

    The hub is like $170 on Amazon, the DA one is the steel one for the Prius C/V/Yaris and won't work. DA doesn't make one for my car.

    You are talking the big aluminum silver thing that houses the wheel bearing the outer tie rod stood on so you can steer . I just looked them up the other day. I have some here off they no go bad . Even if you damage hole the bearing is bolted in .
