i have problem with the driver side wheel bearing on my 2003 cavalier i have replace it 8 times now trying to figure out what making it go out and i have 4 different types of wheel bearing.
Are you torquing it down to the right specs? If you over tighten it they will wear out fast.

THIS! the spindle nut torque is very important. don't buy house brand bearings either, always buy known good brands like national or timken.

All stock...........lol.
and dont torque the nut while the car is on the ground, put a screwdriver in the slots of the rotor. youll preload the bearing wrong.
the book say s 195 ft lbs on the nut and i have use timken 2 of the now and 2 national right now it has a national wheel bearing in it they had been going out even 5,000 to 9,000 mile i was wondering if motor mounts could make a wheel bearing go out and maybe LOWER CONTROL ARM could cause it to go out ?
