[QUOTE="Dreman, post: 748864, member: 61303"] It sounds like whoever replaced the bearings did not replace the bearing races that are pressed into the rotor. Unless the rotor is new with new bearing races, the bearing races in the rotor should always be replaced when you replace the bearings. They have to be tapped out with a hammer and punch through the rotor, and then the new one is tapped back into place. A mechanic that wants to do a good job always replaces the bearing and the race together. A mechanic that wants to charge you again for shoddy work will only replace the bearing. Also, the bearings are supposed to be re-packed (regreased) every 30,000 mile or so (if I remember right). I know they have to be re-packed. I don't remember how often exactly. [/QUOTE]
