Hey guys - long time no talk...
I am posting this here because I feel it pertains more to the older chassis and suspect I will get a better answer about it.
My wife's 99 burb, we have been through no less than 8 front passenger wheel bearings in the last 4 years. I replaced the first one myself (from Advance Auto) and have had the rest done by a local shop that I have used and generally trust. It seems on average we get about 6 months/20k miles before they fail. They usually fail catastrophically. (twice the wheel has 'fallen off' and one time it snapped the end right off the CV shaft).
We have tried several different bearing manufactures at this point. We have also tried grounding the hub (not sure how he did that) as well as disconnecting the ABS sensor.
We just had another fail, and I cant keep tossing $$ at this problem. I am out of ideas. What could be causing this bearing to fail so much?
Help!!
Mike
