2007 3 door 350000 miles eats wheel bearings! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I'm no expert, but try looking into the wheel or tire. It may be out of round or bent to one side and is causing too much stress and bearing failure.

Do they still manually pack the bearing with grease before installation if so they may be forgetting the procedure or using the wrong grease ,If its just the one bearing it might be prudent to bring it to the dealer to have it done according to factory specs.

I almost made this same post earlier today. The only thing that stopped me is how quickly the bearings are getting killed.

Good luck with it!

Bad batch of bearings? Do they put lot numbers on replacement wheel bearings?

Any news op?

Try a different brand just for kicks. I'm betting something else previously mentioned is bent, out of round slightly etc. A different brand of bearing may have an ever so slightly different tolerance or materials etc and *might* have a different result. My old truck was going through the expensive brand bearings every 10k after it hit 90k. After a couple of sets of those I switched to the extra cheapies at AZone and damned if they didn't last for 30k. That truck was beat all to hell fyi.
