Re: Front Wheel Bearing Wear From 4x4 Use?

Just to close the loop on this, the cause of the premature failure of the new bearings was due to piss poor, stupid, lazy installation.

The shop I was using at the time did not clean out the grease from the previously failed bearing, so there was still a ton of metal debris/shavings in the grease which quickly worked its way into the brand new bearing and caused it to fail. So dumb.
