So I replaced my front passanger side wheel bearing about a month ago due to some vibration at low speeds (20mph or less). A week or two later, it started vibrating again. So, the shop changed it again (at no charge), thinking the bearing was bad. Now, it's been another week or two, and it's vibrating again (I assume it's the same problem).

What would cause these new bearings to break so fast? Axle? Hub?

Thanks in advance with any help.

 

Re you slammed all the way down??? Not sure if that is the cause but it seems like it would not help things.

 

Just bought the car two months ago. I haven't done anything to it yet. Planning on lowering it a little, but haven't yet. Trying to get all of the maintenance done on it first before I start modding it. It's pretty much all caught up, except for this pesky wheel bearing problem.

Anyone have any thoughts?

 

Its probably not the bearing causing the vibration. Put it in reverse and turn the wheel all the way one direction. If its a cv joint, ussually you can hear it way louder in reverse, especially while turning.

 

cv joint or bad spindle/hub
