Am I the only idiot with wheel bearing problem???

I replaced my front left wheel bearing like a year ago. Thats normal cause I have a lot a miledge.

Then I replaced the rear right because it making a humming noise. After I replaced it the noise was minimal and I thought it was the tires. Now that I dont have the tires no more It just started to make SICK loud humming noise from the same place rear right.

Im tired of this SH*T. I mean ye the first time its ok but again. Its been less then a year and I only put like 10K miles on it. I drive hard on turns sometimes so I dont know WTF. Was it defective from the start or its the dam car. Now I have to bust out with like $150

Maybe it wasn't installed correctly the first time. And try to come down on those turns.

i think i have a bad wheel bearing too. on left or right turns, it makes a pulsing/humming sound, when going below 50 mph... i'm pretty sure its not the tires cuz i rotated them.. does this sound like a wheel bearing also?

have someone sit in the back and listen. if the noise Like you said is getting worst on turns then its the bearing. Check with the tech also.
