I have had all my wheels dynamic balanced (road force balanced) on a hunter machine and didn't solve the issue.

The dealers have agreed to replace the stretch bolts that they adjusted when moving the subframe when carting out the alignment.

Although since the new wheel bearing has been fitted, 2months ago, the symptoms are starting to get more pronounced. Feels like its going the same way as the last one (same wheel).

I'm now starting to think that something is damaged at that corner.. Already replaced both front wheels and new front tyres... At much expense. :(

What would cause a new OEM wheel bearing to fail again after such a short time??

I did hit a pothole on the motorway before this whole thing started but no symptoms until the subframe adjusted.

Could the force of the impact have damaged the bearing /hub carrier or even the driveshaft..???

Need help in this guys as the car goes in to ghe dealers yet again tomorrow.
