wheel bearing

wheel bearing

hey i was wondering if any one has heard of a wheel bearing going bad after 13000 miles ?

i drive the car normally and that was over the time of 14 months.

could this have been caused by a poor install maybe scoring the bearing well pressing it in

if so do you guys think the person who installed the part should have to replace it?

i could really use some help with this

13000 miles? No, that's faulty equipment or installation. I've got stock wheel bearings in my truck and it's got well over 100k on it.

yeah thats what i thought the other one had over a 136000 on it

does any one know what i should do fight to get it replaced or just fix it

Bro those things are only warrantied from 6 months to a year if your looking for a freebie its not worth it , aftermarket usally go depends on your driving but if you wanted better you should have went to the stealership , Just change them , you got decent mileage out of them

that sucks cause i dont have the money to be buying these new parts over and over

I bought 2 rear bearings on Ebay for 105 dollars and there bolt on , and the front bearings they dont sell the whole thing they just sell the bearing they run about 40 a piece and you just have to get them pressed on , but other things cause bearings go bad like a stuck brake caliper heating up the rotor which transfers to the bearings or you dont have the seal in the back which people dont usally put on cause they dont know about it or they take it off and think they dont need it

well when you do the front bearing you should do hub as well its like 75 for parts and then all the shops want 30 to press it in i just need to find the time to do it
