i replaced this passenger rear wheel bearing like 3-4 years ago but its not spinning as freely as the driver side is that normal? i took the calipers off so its nothing with the brakes

is it making any noise when driving?... just because it don't spin free doesn't mean its bad... when the wheel is on can u wiggle the wheel side to side at all? or up and down shaking it? if u have a lot of play doing that ...then it would be bad...

no it doesnt make any noise just thought it seemed wierd how free the other side was spinning compared to this side
thought it would cause me to decelerate faster and loose gas milage?

Probably nothing noticeable.

If one is new and one is old, the old one will probably spin more freely due to being close to the end of it's life. Less friction due to more play. Wheel bearings have tight specifications so when new won't spin as freely due to everything being so perfectly tight on it.

I'm sure it won't be enough friction to affect your mileage. The friction difference for the weight involved is insignificant.
