My question is, has there been an issue with front hub bearings on this vehicle. I replaced these bearing about six months ago. I realized the bearings were bad because of the end play. The car is now doing the exact same thing as it was doing before. I can re-torque the hubs but they continue to loosen up. The nut is not backing off.

Couple thoughts on this. IT is definitely the bearing that has play?

Are the bearings being pressed in and out or hammered?

What brand of bearing is being use. My self, I would go with Timkin or OEM.

Are there excessive potholes or similiar being hit?

I pressed in the timkin bearings. I asked the same question about pot holes or speed bumps. The driver did indicate that she has hit a couple of speed bumps lately harder than she should have. I think we are on the same page. I will replace the bearings again. Thanks.
