    Hey guys,

    I have recently changed both front wheel bearings in my truck. About 200 miles after replacement, they are humming again?? Is this a bad bearing? Or could it have been an issue with the machine shop and how they were pressed? Any help would be appreciated.

    Sounds like an install issue. THey should be covered under warranty if a shop did the work.

    I did the job myself. What could have gone wrong in the installation?

    :notsure: I didnt watch you do it. It could have been bad parts, bearings not pressed in correctly, too deep, etc.
