To determine if your 2011-Present Lexus GS might have a wheel bearing issue, we'll need some more information, such as the year of your vehicle and the specific symptoms you're experiencing. Assuming you're referring to a "tire bearing," it's likely that you mean the wheel bearing, which can be a common source of trouble in cars.

Typically, signs of a bad wheel bearing include an audible sound that becomes more pronounced as your vehicle's speed increases. This noise often resembles a low-pitched "wubwubwubwub" sound and can usually be heard from inside the car's cabin.

You can perform a basic check for a damaged wheel bearing by following these steps:

  1. Safely lift your vehicle using jack stands.
  2. With one hand on the top of the wheel and the other on the bottom, attempt to gently wiggle the wheel back and forth without spinning it.
  3. If you notice any play or excessive movement in the wheel during this test, there's a good chance that your wheel bearing may be damaged.

Keep in mind that a visual and hands-on inspection by a qualified mechanic is the most accurate way to diagnose a wheel bearing issue. If you'd like, you can also provide a video or audio recording of the sound you're hearing, and I'd be happy to listen and offer additional insight or confirmation of the issue.
