Default wheel bearing caps

HI,I wondering if there were people on this forum has had the same problem that i have run into and that is having wheel bearing caps come off.
In over 50yrs. of driving i have never ever had a wheel bearing cap come off
and in the last few weeks i have had it happen twice now are the caps just such poor quality now that they will not stay on and if so does anyone have a
fix for this,thanks.

what type of truck, year model? tapered roller bearing style or sealed bearing and hub assembly?


but no, the new model caps are very tight from the factory. a special cap removal tool is needed to remove them (without denting them) as they are so tight.
