Re: bravo wheel bearing problem!

Tracking done recently? You can get a free check as if its bad wheels could be pointing the wrong way and straining the bearing. Check your wheel bolts as well they do loosen off over time and cause problems.

If the garage supplied it then it should have a warrenty. Go back to the garage and they should fit a new one and the labour should be free. there is no way the bearing should go in a month. i have had my car 18 months and covered 30 thousand miles and the bearings are fine!

Re: bravo wheel bearing problem!

its possible they didnt use grease on the new bearing, or they used the wrong type of grease and it burnt off.
