I am going on my replacing my third wheel bearing on the passenger side of my car within the last 4-6months.
This last bearing only lasted about 8000 miles if that I know it was replaced about mid-February this year along with the half shaft and passenger side tranny seal, and now both the wheel bearing and tranny seal are bad. I'm thinking the excessive play in the wheel bearing caused the seal to go bad but what would cause the repeated failure of the wheel bearing?
No curbs have been hit, no accidents, no excessive lateral loads nothing comes to mind as the issue unless something is bent. But that theory doesn't hold much water with me because the first set of wheel bearings that were the original to my knowledge lasted to 170kish.
