[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 748867, member: 64142"] The only time I ever had recurring problems with wheel bearings was on a full size Bronco. The real culprit turned out to be a sticking piston in the brake caliper. Would work fine until the caliper got wet as in running through a mud puddle, etc. First time you used the brakes after running through water the piston would hang up and eventually overheat the rotor and the wheel bearings would fail. Replaced the caliper and never had another bearing problem... [/QUOTE]
