I keep blowing out my front hub assembly bearing... And i dont know why. Please help
i keep blowing out the right side hub bearing and i have know idea why. i just put a new timken bearing in about 8 months ago and then parked my truck and went overseas, came back and now the bearing has about half inch worth of play in it from top to bottom.... and is poping when i drive it at low speeds, but when on the freeway it doesnt seem to make any sound.... i notice on the stub shaft on the otherside there is like a backing plate that pushes up agaist the bearing and is wondering if this could be my problem... the passengerside does not have it... or can it be a allinement problem? or even tires... please send your insight.... i need help with this.... THANK YOU

Popping? That sounds like the ujoint. The extra vibration from that could limit the life of the bearing. And I don't know what plate you are talking about, but both sides should look the SAME. And if it was fine when you parked it and bad when you came back, I'd find out who else has a set of your keys
