i have a 2002 s10 4x4 with about 60000 miles on the clock. i have put about 8 front wheel bearings in it. i have done half of them my self and had a shop do the other half. is there a problem with the truck? i cant belive i have gotten 8 bad bearings. i am not an offroader, i drive on country roads about 25 miles to work. the problem is not limeted to one side of the truck it seams to alternate. whats the problem and is there a way to fix it

You need to replace the spindle. My theory is that the spindle has somehow been damaged, causing the wheel bearings to wear prematurely.

Also check to make sure the dust caps are in place. Doing a lot of driving in the gravel roads can cause dust to build-up in there
