I put an LS swap in my Eg hatch a few months ago. Ive got thru 3 or 4 wheel bearings since then. The car pulls to the right very slightly. so i thot it could be the alignment. i took it in for one after i replaced it 2 days ago and they said they couldnt do it. now today its bad already. its got 56 miles on it. I have no idea why theyre going bad at all? any help please?

 

have you actualy physicaly checked yourself if they were bad?
who the crap is replacing them??
you could possibly have a bent knuckle. yes its happened

 

I don't think I've ever seen bearings go out that fast...ever.

Do you hear a significant noise increase while driving when they "go bad"

 

are u pressin em in like they are supposed to go in with a press or back yard doin with a hammer????? if u are pressin em in, or if they go on with ease thn it ur hub??? but really i need more info on the car!!! is it a salvage, and if so has everything been fixed legit???

 

yeah im positive they were bad. I had my friend press in one of them at the school auto shop, one hub i got from a junk yard and the 3rd i had napa press in. the 4th i did myself at our local auto hobby shop on a press.
Its fixed now though. 400 miles and holding up good. haha. Turns out it was my Axle causing them to go bad. I have no clue what axle was in there. I thought all Hydro b series axles were the same, appart from ITR?

 

ITR is the same too (except for '98+ JDM units) Some aftermarket axles are too long where they go through the hub though and when you tighten the axle nut up it doesn't draw the two halves of the bearing together.

 

Are you using OEM wheel bearings ? Bet you you don't pack them or pack them enough.
And Check tires lol
get an alignment.

 

They're a sealed double ball bearing, you don't pack them with grease like tapered roller bearings.

 

Lol, I Was thinking about another car.

But Also It could be steering rack that causes pull.

 

How does your hub look?

 

The hub is fine. everythings still good so far. so im guessing it was definitely the axle. And im getting an alignment asap. definitely on my to do list.

 

the same thing happen to me one time so i ck my front end and it was my outter tirod that was bad so it had a play and over time it mess my bearing... i change it twice...... put the car on the jack stand and with the wheel on shake the tire with ur hand to see if u feel any play thats how i found out my tirod was bad...
