Wheel bearing Fubar'd?

Car  Focus st3 & t5.1 day
Driving home from work the other night, back end of the car sounded abit like a tractor, quite a bit of vibration, and feeling wheel wobble at about 60mph..

so I booked my car in to a local garage (family friend) to get my wheel bearings checked..

please note, this side wheel bearing was replaced 5 months ago, so I didnt think it could be that.. again..

turns out it is! and how the wheel hasn't come off, ill never know!

Ill let the vid show what I mean, sorry for poor quality, used my iphone, also sorry for the background noise, they were removing the wishbones of a zafira that had been in a shunt..

if the link works..
 
Mine failed its MOT for a wheel bearing. They was changed back in October last year. The garage thought the wheel bolts was loose. So it was done under warranty.
 
had to book my car in for a few things, so im getting it fixed free at the same time!

when I told the bloke in the garage I had driven it over 60mph his face dropped :S

It didnt feel that bad tbh!
 
Garage said they are there, but im not too sure :| ill check em my self when i get the car back tomorrow

I need new discs soon anyways, so ill come to you Mr G 172

I was gonna buy some before but then my work hours changed :(

Ill pm you soon :D
 
Maybe fitted wrong way round, one side is flat and one side is tapered, also are they retorque-ing rear hub nut to 175nm

No worries!
