OK....this is getting outta hand.

I got my 99 4x4 with 90k on it and it now has 118k on it.The day after I bought it I put a new drivers side wheel bearing/hub on it,then around 95k I had to do the passenger side,then I had to do the driver s side again at 116k and tonite I find that my passenger side is bad again. WTF? Is this frinkin normal? I use the stock 16" rims with 265/75 Buckshots,t-bars are cranked a few turns but nothing crazy.I havent even been wheelin lately either so I know it aint from mud or sand killin them.

Anyone else seem to go thru em as much as me?

 

I went through them on my lifted 4x2 with 35's -- but I beat the crap out of them.

Whose bearings are you buying? Maybe you're getting some bad quality.

 

Are you buying wheel bearing with the Timken bearings in them? Or are you getting the cheaper chinese units from the local parts store?

 

The first one I got was from the dealer and was like 250 plus tax and the others have been from e-bay and were about 100 cheaper.

 

Those unitized spindle bearings are way expensive. Whoot. Sorry this is happening to you but I have no idea. Part of my goal for my SAS was to have individually serviceable bearings and not unit bearings.

 

if you are not running Timken bearings, then that is what happens...

But seriously, EVERYONE recommends Timken that I know of.

 

shoot I wish.....that extra income would be gravy!
