hey guys, have a question for everyone. i have had my 01' A4 1.8 for a little over a year now. i had the rear passenger side wheel bearing replaced maybe 2 or 3 months arter i first bought the car, because it was going bad on me and making one hell or a noise. i brought my car in (not Audi dealership, i figured for a barring i would save a little on laber since i dont have a place to do it myself, and dont know how to for that matter....anyways) they put the new bearing on and everything was fine.... then maybe 3 months and the noise came back so i brought it back thinking they might have put a faulty bearing in. They replaced it for free b/c there is no way it should have gone bad in that amount of time. not maybe 7 months after the 2nd "new" bearing was put in the same noise is back. needless to say i dont no what the hell is going on. any one have any in-put to what is going on??? also is there anything that anyone can think of that would cause a bearing to go so quick?? thanks for your time guys!

Is this a quattro? Is the hub damaged?

if could fail. I didn't care why mine failed as long as CPO covered it.

You should get a 4wheel alignment anyways after the first time, if they pulled the upright to press in the bearing

key to the intall is pressing it together with the hub perfectly.. If it even messes up a hair when pressing them in you can wreck the bearing.
