just wondering co i have 136k on my car and the front wheel bearings are wearing out, and i replaced the driver side first and it got destroyed within 2mo's. so just wondering weather wrapped rotors can cause this. because when i brake the steering wheel vibratesthanksD

Yeah I would imagine that would wear them out faster. have you changed your rotors? you should do it soon if you haven't. and its really easy and cheap to do yourself. probably only take an hour or two.

when your slowing down with warped rotors the brake caliper is mounted to the spindle pretty securely and its not going to move. something has got to move and give way to the vibrating so its probably the rotor. and wiggling it back and forth like that could destroy the bearing I would think.

This is just my guess though.
