I replace my bearing for my front passenger side bearing about 6mths ago. I was trying to make this car maintain as possible. Recently I hear a woobley sound coming from the passenger side. So i took the hub out to see whats wrong. I can push the hub in and out like by an inch. I went to oreilly where i got it install and they said that they can't do it cause i need a new hub. What cause it to go bad?

actually too much grease will cause the bearing to overheat. it should be no more than 1/2 filled.
