wheel bearing problems

Joined: May 25, 2008 Posts: 1

I have a 2000 Honda accord with a previous front end accident. I have just had the rear passenger side wheel bearings changed (3 months ago) and now need the rear drivers side done. My Honda mechanic says this is surprising and only usually happens when there has been a rear end accident. Any thoughts on why this has happened? Thanks.

It sat in 3 feet of water for a while? Sad

Are you sure that both your top and bottom slider pins in the brakes are
getting proper lubrication when the pads are inspected? It may not be
the wheel bearing at all. Some techs swivel the caliper UP and forget to
inspect the pin they just unbolted.
