About 2 1/2 years ago I had to replace both front wheel bearing hubs. On 12/29/04 I had to have the right bearing hub replaced for the second time. I do not recall the mileage the first time. I had about 129,000 on this time.

While driving at any speed consumer heard a rattling sound coming from the front end of the vehicle. Dealer examined the vehicle and replaced the front hubs and wheel bearings. Also, vehicle used an excessive amount of oil and coolant.

Replaced the front drivers side wheel bearing in June of 2002. Wheel bearing is going out again and needs to be replaced after only 30,000 miles. My brother-in-law had an Oldsmobile intrigue that he also had to replace the front drivers wheel bearing on twice before getting rid of the car.

Bad vibration at highway speeds.had wheels aligned, tires balanced, tie rods, both front axles, both front bearings, front disc brakes(rotors and pads), both front struts replaced. Vibration at times gets bad enough to lose control. None of the above solutions fixed the problem.

We have replaced both front wheel bearings, and I think this might be a defective product.

Rotors and pads replaced 5 times, please recall. Also, front wheel bearings wore out causing excessive tire wear and vague steering feel.
