Speaking of dead bearings
Dead before 300 miles...

Hi,
I just replaced one of my rear wheel hub and bearing assemblies.
Ive done less than 300 miles with it, and it has gone bad already.
Its NOS delco item. What on earth would cause it to fail already?
I fitted it with extreme care, and tightenned the axle nut to 164lbs according to the service manual with a brand new torque wrench.

Little update on the same subject:
I just did my first weekend on my new F-body SKF fronts. I had some mechanical issues that stopped me from running as much as I could have and ended up with about 5-6 30 minute sessions when all was said and done. There isn't the slightest bit of play in them so far. Hopefully they'll last for a while...
