    Bad Wheel Bearing

    hey guys so I having a serious problem with my front passenger wheel bearing, It has been replaced 5 times in the last 6 months and looks like it is bad again! I have had the knuckle/hub assembly replaced already but the problem continues and the shop cant figure out whats causing them to go bad. the bearing is going out about every 600 miles. has anyone had a similar problem or any suggestions of what might be causing it? the driver side is perfectly fine and I dont drive like a maniac or anything of the sort. any help would be greatly appreciated. i am going insane! thanks again!

    What kind of shop is looking at them/replacing them? I'd take the car to a well-known alignment shop that also does repairs. This type of shop often sees cars that have been in accidents; they know what causes bearing issues (or at least they should know).

    Sticking caliper will over heat it and cause this. You should have noticed this over 6 months though
