Wheel bearing failure due to a loose engine ground wire.

Here is an easy IMPORTANT TIP about front wheel bearings that could save you a lot of needless constant repairs... Fact is, if your Engines ground tether cables is NOT attached or has a bad connection, the engine has to find other places to ground out, frying front wheel bearings can be the result. So if your car goes through front wheel bearings yearly that could be your problem.Keep in mind that your engine may have more than one grounds strap.

This is a very common problem particularly after having major engine work or an engine swap. So if your wheel bearings are failing often, and you have just had major engine work done on your vehicle within the last 6 months, bring it back to the garage who performed the engine work and have them double check their workmanship.
