Wheel bearings...

There is a simple fix for your problem.

Take the hubs off, then with a center punch and a hammer, put about 6 punch marks around were the bearings sit, this will hold the bearings to the hub you could also use some bearing retainer, you could find that through Loctite

If you go to your local engineering suppply place and tell them your problem, they should giuve you a gray tube of loctite 506, i think it is called, had the same problem with the front left drive wheel on my daewoo lanos, use to come loose after 12 months, at one stage i was replacing wheel bearings evry 12 months, i put some of that on and it fixed the problem. All the grey stuff does is take up the thin space between bearing and carrier, to eliminate and load/ stresses from not being machined or seated properly. I would leave the tube in your tool box for next time you need it.. You don't ned much but hey its like it has being welded after.

Thanks very much for the advice 3GoBush & Christopher P.

That video is an excellent example of why we have to be so careful when choosing a Mechanic.

Manufacturers recommend seating a bearing by overtightening to a specified preload and then backing off and resetting to the normal preload. This way the bearing is seated by pressing it in with pressure as opposed the this butchers "shock treatment"

What's even worse is that he is teaching others to use this rough and incorrect method.

Unfortunately there are many of these types of methods out there and even more ...... well lets say people who swear by them.

yeah, you spin it 5 times left then 5 times right, then loosen, spin 5 left, then 5 right, then retension, , go for a drive and then after 500 kays retension. is roughly the advice io got from my mechanic, and he's being in the game for 36 years, worked on everything.
