Wheel bearing Fubar'd?



  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..

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.

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

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!
