Rear wheel bearing Life, Vs Front wheel bearing life.
 
I want to see if i am the only one having more issues with the rear wheel bearing than others. I have yet to have ever had problems with the front wheel bearings ever...

But have had to replace both rear wheel bearings Twice.. and yet agian the rear wheel bearing is going out agian after one year.. Can anyone shed some light on why? When i take them in to get pressed are they doing it wrong? Am i getting a cheapo bearing at the parts store and not know it? Do they make them to fail?
thanks

OE front and rear bearings last a long time. The rears must be installed correctly with the press, or it can damage the bearing. Quite a long time ago there was a post on this subject where in installer damaged the bearing. Maybe you can view this in search.
When you say they are bad, looseness, noise?

Are you putting the appropriate torque and staking the nut?
