Greetings all. New to the forum so thanks for having me.

Reader's Digest Version: I have an 03 Protege5 with about 160K miles on it. Originial owner. Last September, replaced wheel bearings and passenger side axle. Last week, replaced failed bearing and the axle definitely needs to be replaced. I bought the axle at a local auto parts retailer...I'll be taking both the failed bearing and axle back under warranty...crossing fingers.

Has this happened to anyone else? Isn't it like a one in a million chance that both parts fail? I don't have faith in exchanging for the identical part. Are there brands that you all are weary of? Any recommendations are welcome. I've been scouring the forum for days...

Thanks!
