alright i had a new wheel bearing installed about a month ago everything went fine til last night. i changed a axle out cuz i thought it went bad went for alil driv and the wheel bearing went out. grabbed the knuckle of my other car a ex and put it on my si. this is also a brand new wheel bearing. went to the starved rock meet today and the wheel bearing went out again. i dont think its bad luck that both went out like that. any clues wuts goin on here??

 

So it started after you replaced the axle? Is it the correct axle? Is the nut tightened properly and staked?

 

its a axle for a 2000 si which thats the car that i have.. the nut is tightened diwn properly as well. the bearing gets pretty bad after a short drive i mean u can move the wheel in and out a inch. how would a bad axle cause this though?

 

You sure you didnt overtighten that axle nut?

 

That's what can happen if the nut isn't seating all the way down clamping the bearing together. To get that loose something has to be off pretty bad.

 

alright yea the bolt wasnt goin on far enought bad axle put new one on with new bearing and seems fine so far been alil over 200 miles

 

Glad you got it sorted out. That's one of those oddball problems that can crop up once in a while.
