Hi all, while I was driving I notice that im getting a sort of knocking sound under hard acceleration and as i cruised heard what appeared to be that "wooo wooo" sound. I JUST replaced my wheel bearings with a factory toyota wheel bearing kit.
My question is: what would cause a new wheel bearing to go bad? Im 99% certain I put it back correctly and that the person that pressed it in was reputable. --------------------  QUOTE (Galcobar @ Oct 15, 2008 - 2:44 AM)  You want power but have no money.

If you're on lowering springs that could be the issue. When I was on Tein S-tech's I had to replace three bearings in a short period of time.

I don't think this is correct. How would lowering springs affect your bearing in any way? x2 on the bad hub. Also, the method of install. If you're having it done at a shop, or doing it yourself and they aren't using a press, and simply hammering them in, this can also cause damage to the bearing, and premature wear.
