[QUOTE="Toasty, post: 8499078, member: 39823"] Thats wrong information. The wheel bearing hubs on our cars are SEALED bearings which are part of a intergral wheel hub. They arent the old two piece bearing+race style. I believe the sealed one piece hub/bearings were introduced in 1994 but not exactly sure on the intro date. To the OP: I too had a brand new set of wheel hubs last about 6k miles. When I installed the set that failed I didnt have a torque wrench that would go to 220-295 ft-lbs, so I used the 'calibrated arm' approach. After the first set went bad and started to howl I installed another set, only this time found someone that had a torque wrench that would go to 250 ft-lbs, and torqued them to that spec. I also rechecked the torque on them after a weeks worth of driving to ensure that heat cycles hadnt messed with the torque reading. Everything is perfect now after 3 seasons of summer driving.
