Problem with wheel bearing on clio

[scot paul]

We have gone through three wheel bearings in three weeks, initially we put it down to poor workmanship at our local garage, due to them possibly over tightening the wheel hub nut, the first two failed within 20 miles, the third wheel bearing was replaced having the wheel hub nut torqued, but this has failed after 100 miles, any ideas whats going on here??

Front or rear? Are they genuine bearings?

Hi, it was front drivers side, and no, they weren't genuine renault bearings. could this be the reason they've failed??

Buy cheap, buy twice, or in your case 3 times.

Why skimp on crucial parts like wheel bearings, it's beyond me.

Even cheap Chinesse rubbish will last longer than that. Got to be something wrong with the fitting surely?
