just replaced wheel hub assembly on both sides of front. Passenger side was worst of the two but did em both regardless. Now I am hearing the bearings on that side again I do not get it. In addition to that, now there is this crazy clunky nose there too when ever I drive over even the slightest crack or even barely bump. That noise is quiet at high speed on smooth freeway, but main roads is crazy. I do not know what to think.

Hello,

I would recheck the brake caliper so make sure it is tight or maybe it is touching the rotor due to a spacing error in the bearing hub, please jack-up the side that is making noise and spin the tire to see if you can hear something.

Hear is a guide that will show you how to do the job so you can do over it to see if you missed anything.

Please let us know what happens.

Best, Ken
