Default Steering Knuckle/spindle

Hi im kind of new to the whole Honda thing... I have always had Nissans and Mazdas. The problem is thats i have had two wheel bearings pressed into my steering knuckle on the passenger side. This is just in the past month and they go bad about a week later... My guess is that the actual steering knuckle is worn out and does not press in tight enough... Can i use a steering knuckle from an EF hatch? I drive a 91 DX CRX

Have you replaced the actual wheel hub, the piece that is then pressed into the bearing?

Sure is....i mean it could get bent but not sure if that cause premature wear on the bearings.

Also, are you sure its the wheel bearings? And how are you testing this?

Also, did you have the same shop do the work both times?
