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?

If you replaced your Bearing and not the HUB it could be that the HUB chewed out the new bearing. Usually if a HUB is good then the bearing is the one at fault, but if you drove around with a bad bearing for a long time with a good hub, your hub goes bad along with the bearing.
In a way, replace your Bearing as soon as it goes out or expect to replace both after so many miles. Running over obstacles will damage the bearing, I should know I ran over a steel ladder on the freeway once! |
