Hi
I have a Kia Rio 2002. It's a great car but after 32000 miles it started needing new front wheel bearings on either driver and/or pass side every
2000 - 3000 miles. I'm just about to get it booked in once again for the sixth time at 47000 to get new wheel bearings. The fourth time the wheel bearings went out, I took it to another Kia dealer because I thought the dealer must be installing them incorrectly.Anyway the dealer who has fixed it the most each time he said the alignment is out and that's why the wheel bearings failed. So I took it to 3 different shops each time to get the alignment and they said it was either fine or it was out but not by much. Is this true that if the alignment is out then the wheel bearings will fail?
Is there something else I can tell the dealer to inspect that could be causing the failure?
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated as when the warranty runs out in 13000 miles, if this problem does not get resolved I'll start footing the bill for the job.
Thanks
Mark
