Okay so I've broken 3 driver side and 2 passenger side.. I've had this celica since August 2011... I bought it with broken wheel bearings. I thought it was my driving so after the last repair I began to drive more carefully. This time I broke both front ones at the same time! What do you think could be the reason I'm burning through wheel bearings??? Because this is just crazy. I've put more money in wheel bearings than any other repair on my car. Something more has to be wrong if I'm breaking a bearing which seems like every other month.. Please someone help. I have a 94 Celica GT

it sounds like the hubs are toast, if you put a good bearing on a bad hub it will ruin the bearing in no time.
If I remember toyota recomends replacing both. There are some threads on this in suspension/brake forum. This post has been edited by 97lestyousay: Apr 12, 2012 - 12:58 PM -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.
