I have now had a 3rd wheel bearing go on me on the left side...my wheel bearings have been replaced 2 times before under warranty...now I have to shell out for this one...is anyone else having this issue? This is f'ing ridiculous, they went first with ~400 miles on it, and again at 17,000 (before any suspension mods)...now I have 59,000...anyway to improve on them?...better brands?

Negative camber is rough on wheel bearings, so I've been through about 8-10 sets over the past few years. I've had the best luck with the cheap ones from Discount Auto (about $65). I leave rear gasket off, but put the black O-ring gasket on. Make sure you get the wheel nut torqued to 185 ft. lbs. You may want to look into an alignment to see if your front camber needs adjustment.

I just put mine on (CSA brand I believe) and they're starting to hum, less than 1,000 miles.

Oh well, It's too cold to do them, they gotta wait til a) I get a heater in the garage or b)spring.

Guess which one will happen first?
