My front wheel bearings keep going out the last time I changed them as oon as I drove the car for about 5 miles they went bad? Can anyone help me? What may cause this problem. Thanks

 

Who installed them ??
Who packed the bearings ??

Had to be an install issue for sure

Are you replacing the hub also? You prob have damaged your hub enough that the bearings are not tight inside the hub. This will cause bad wheel bearings pretty fast but in 5 miles I dont know.

 

Well see thats the thing my uncle did the install and a shop pressed them. But I have done this like 4 times already twice with professional mechanics. They dont seem to have an answer.

 

warped hub, if the whole is oblong at all its going to dmg the bearing cassette quickly.

 

i had the same problem with mine and i couldn't fix it. i ended up selling the car. (i was having alot of problems with it)

 

check ur cv shafts.. the reason i say that is cuz the same thing happened to me. .if the shaft is loose, meaning that if u grab it and you can push it in and out of the joints.. then u need to replace that first...

I put in new bearings and had a bad cv and it ruined the bearing.. just cuz the boot isnt torn it doesnt mean its good...


check that.. then raise the front of the car and grab the wheel with both hands and shake it left and right and up and down.. make sure that there isnt any play..
