Hey guys, looking for some help with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier LS. I purchased the car about 3 weeks ago knowing it needed a new front right wheel bearing, I could hear it grinding pretty good. I decided to replace both front bearings, along with tie rod ends and sway bar link/bushings. The car drove great until about 5 days ago. I took the car down the freeway for about a 30 mile trip, returned home and parked the car. The next day I took the car out and I could hear the bearings start to whine.... Drove it another day and it was so loud I couldn't drown out the noise with the radio. Today I replaced the bearings again, the left front was destroyed, the right was ok. Took the car on a test drive, sounded fine until I took it on the freeway. I can hear a ever so slight whine at low speeds. What could be causing the bearing to fail so quickly? Anyone have bearing issues with Cavaliers? Thanks.

 

are you torqueing the axle shaft nut? what bearings are you using?

 

Did you replace the hub assembly?
