We need to replace the bearing on the front passenger side of our 93. I have a friend who is going to help me who has done bearings on other vehicles but not on a Land Cruiser. Any tips or advice? Links to helpful threads? Thank you!

Your posts are very vague. Perhaps taking your cruiser to a mechanic is something you should consider. “Banging” sounds indicate a significant problem.It only bangs when it's going forward. Not in reverse. Possibly inner or outer?

we did lift it. And there was significant play on the passenger side. My friend tightened all the bolts including the caliper bolts and it was a little better but still a lot of play and occasional clanking or banging when the the brakes were applied or the wheels were turned. Drove it again since my earlier post and it is making the same noise in Reverse if the wheels are turned.Lift the wheels off the ground with a jack. See if there's play by rocking the wheels back and forth.
You'll likely need an axle rebuild as suggested above...maybe more depending on what you find. Do both sides and @cruiseroutfit is the guy for parts. Sounds like more than just loose bearings to me, but you'll need to take it all apart to see. Good videos on YT with step by step. Doing it yourself is Cruiser baptism and not too tough.we did lift it. And there was significant play on the passenger side.
