In the last three months, I have had the bearing go on the driver side front twice. It sounds like it may be a problem again. I am confused, is this common, what else could be the problem.

Hi there,

If the same work shop is fitting the bearings, I would be checking that they are doing it properly and the problem is not from the bearings being fitted incorrectly, they should last years not months.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS Front wheel bearings are a hub unit design and are pre-lubricated and sealed. Bearings do not require scheduled maintenance. Bearings are preset and cannot be adjusted.
