clutch install wont make your wheel bearing go bad


can you describe the noise you are hearing? does it sound like a low flying helicopter when turning?

unless they took your car out and beat the crap out of it and did some doughnuts then it probably just a coincidence


that is weird though, usually when a bearing goes its gradual

there really is no way to damage the bearing as its encased in the knuckle, idk what they did.

usually bearings go bad from repeated high g turns (read autox) or other similar abuse

how many miles are on your car?

If they moved your car with out the axles that could do it, but i highly doubt that happened. I think it was just time for yours to go, i have seen some go out in very low mileage evos.
