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

 this comes no surprise to me I tear through hubs and bearings easily. Also see if they're pressing it correctly, sounds stupid but I had someone else press my drivers and another (the person I always went to) press my pass. and guess what........my pass. wears out. Not to say the guys doesn't know what he's doing. I'm just trying to trace every possible reason and that might be one of them.Do what the other guys suggested: -change hubs -get alignment -check axle nuts -check the person doing the job You have to remember a warranty is a manufac. defect on these things, it's not "oh it broke again 1 1/2 out I'm gonna go get another one". If something's causing the bearings to go faster most shops will not honor the warranty period, especially if its the 2nd or 3rd time this is happening. -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
