Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires what would cause bearings to go bad again?

I took my car again today after just having bearings fixed two weeks ago.They said they would fix it again for free. They cant see anything else wrong with car front drivers side I had new hub replaced also now they going replace bearings just in case was faulty. But they said if happens again I need take to a dealer and find out whats causing bearings to get loose. Sounded liek tire was going come off or I had flat just loud humming .Anyone else have same type problems? its 98 contour se thanks

I had a similar problem after putting the SVT rims on the stock SE suspension. I thought that the bearing had gone but it turned out that during cornering the tires rubbed up against one of the spring brackets. I took off that particular safety bracket and it fixed it. Help at all?

Well they said bearings are bad but the one mechanic said it looks like the tire would be hitting the spring he said car seems to be sitting low other mechanic said thats fine thats how these cars are. U talking about that plastic piece around the spring just above tire ?

what kind of wheels?

Just was told tonight to take to the dealer it seems to be front wheel spindle is bent or something they said have a dealer look at it watch this cost me like 1000 now grrrr
