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
There are a number of potential possibilities, also once chronic damage has taken place often times a primary component can become out of spec and irreversibly corrected.
ie you might simply have to replace the hubs completly.
One user on here, nearly hit the nail square on. He mentioned wheel spacers. Only one aspect to consider. 3/4ths the vehicles I see rolling around are waiting diasters.
Suspension geometry is very important. Excessive negative camber will wear hubs like crazy, spacers alter geometry as well and thus must be corrected. Beyond that if
you have the wrong wheel offsets you'll find a slew of problems as well thus compounding other issues you might already have with ride height, caster, camber, amongest
other things.
Simply said, you need to correct your suspension geometry and or have exceeded the factory geometry.
I can't help you beyond this, not unless I know more about the specific set up you have.
PS,
It's often easier if people reply via my in box.
