This is becoming a trend w/ my car. It seems every 20K miles, this bearing is shot and needs replacement. The past 2 times were right around 20K intervals, with the last time having to replace the whole hub and bearing because I messed it up on a pothole. I would of thought that w/ a new hub and bearing that it would be good for longer. The front driver's side is still going strong, but of course, the pass. one likes to take a dump every 20K miles... Just thought I would vent... :p James jpett@flash.net StolonTour97 Riding on 17" ADR Trauma's wrapped in Falken ZE512 215/40/ZR17

Not saying yours are wrong, but worth checking. I do know this, but I have just gotten the new rims. I had been driving around on the stock ones this whole time until just recently. Although it is wierd that just the front pass. side is the one that always goes bad... maybe I should kick it harder because this keeps occurring... :p James jpett@flash.net StolonTour97 Riding on 17" ADR Trauma's wrapped in Falken ZE512 215/40/ZR17
