is there any particular brand that holds up? i put this timken bearing in a few months ago and its starting to shake again

 

Did you check your axle the first time to make sure it isn't chewed up or worn down where the bearing rides on it?
This second time might not be the bearings fault.

 

oh no, sorry i meant front driver side

 

make sure your brakes are not overheating. that can cause the bearing to fail. also might try moving that wheel to another location to see if the tire is messed up or rim is bent.

 

Oh, ok. When you said wheel bearing, I automatically figured rear since the front is a "bearing hub assembly". I'm pretty sold on the Timken assemblies, and have used them on at least 3 of our cars in the last couple of years. Timken is a good name in bearings, and I've never had a problem at all with them. Did you jack the car off the front tire and try to wiggle it to make sure it is in fact bad bearings?

 

yeah i had the car on a friends lift to change all 4 rotors since they were in terrible shape and the car wouldnt stop good once they got hot. so i held it and shook it 12 and 6 it shook, but not at 9 and 3. i looked at the balljoints when i shook it and no movement there so i figured the bearing, he looked at it too and said it was the bearing, yeah i thought timken was good stuff too. and i also rotated the tires as it was on the lift since the front had more meat left than the back

 

but if in fact it is the rims, then am i putting myself in a heap more trouble if it messes up the rear end and or bearing?

 

if you rotated the tires and it was the rim or tire the shake should have moved, if not thats not the issue. i have timken on mine and seem to holding out good.

 

I had a passenger front wheel bearing crap out on my RS where it would make a horn like sound when making gradual left turns -- not sure if it's related, but that's the same location of where I had a broken shock mount and the shock was not anchored to anything for some time until it popped fully out and I saw it.

I would inspect the rest of your suspension closely including shock mounts...

 

okay so its not the rims then, are you talking about the shock mount to frame or shock to shock mount liberty?
