Wheel Bearings Keep Blowing...

[Focker2010]

Hey guys, Hopefully someone here can help me out...
2 weeks ago I paid 800$ to get both front wheel bearing replaces and now just today the front right one went... 270$ this time... (had to go to a diff shop because im in NB for vacay, I'll get a refund on the bearing when I get back to Kingston)

I've had alignments done but my steering wheel want to turn slightly left when I drive. and it just keeps seeming that what ever is causing my wheel to turn left might be the cause of the bearings... any suggestions?

Was you bearing hammered in or pressed in by the shop? Don't know how warranty works if you did not get the bearing through the shop that did the install. Dealer will blame installer, installer will blame part.

Age/condition of tires?
How straight and true are your rims?

How do you conclude that the bearings are done?--lots of play in the in/out of the wheel/tires? Loud road noise that increases with speed?

Well i know they're done when i can hear the grinding inside the car... Then i take the car in and they mechanics show me how and they wobble...

I have brand new rims and tires right now, just got those done a months ago. But I did get hit last dec right dead smack into the front left wheel and i think i may be experiencing some aftermath from that, so i might call th insurance company and see what they think...

Id say thats your problem, Something else is outta line. Possibly a mount somewhere that got over looked. How bad was the accident? and what did they replace.
