Hello,
My driver side wheel bearing goes out frequently, anywhere from 1 to 2 years. I haven't ever kept up with the exact mileage, but a good educated guess is 7,000 to 14,000 miles.I have had 4 replaced within 5 years Some have gone quicker than others. They all start making a little noise within a thousand miles, and gets louder as you go.. One mechanic replaced the first three, and a different mechanic replaced the 4th. Both mechanics stated they used to the torque specifications given. The first three assemblies were Duralast and the last one was a Timken. Noticeable difference in the two, the Timken is a lot better quality, heavier duty.
Does anyone know of some other issue/s that may be causing this to happen other than alignment? I have had alignment checked several times, and always checked okay. The vehicle does not drift, pull, etc., and drives really nice. Both mechanics have looked and felt things over and haven't found any other problems. Thanks for reading!
