5 Lug front wheel bearings keep failing...why?
I have a 93 civic coupe (ej1) with a B16 and a 5 lug swap from a JDM ITR. The front wheel bearings went once and I replaced them with CRV front wheel bearings and didn't think anything of it.
Now after 6 months, both the front wheel bearings are really loose and noisy again. Has anyone else ran into this problem? The axles are 32mm B-series axles with 36mm Prelude outers? Is that axle configuration too long, and what axles would be best to run?
Thanks in advance.

Re: (instrument)
They were replaced by sealed OEM CRV bearings which I had pressed in. Everything but the sway bar is stock ITR so I am stumped as to why the bearings went so fast. Right now I'm leaning towards the axles being the wrong length but I don't know if a 32mm B series axle plus a Prelude outer ends up the same as an ITR.
