Steering knuckle issue?
Spring meet --- Midwest --- 5/7/2016 - 6G Celicas Forums
I wonder if the knuckle is warped somehow? Maybe pick a knee assembly from the junk yard and swap the knuckle over.
Wait, Racecarp has a motorcycle? ****...that kid's not going to make it past 30 is he?

Hmmmmm... Did not even think about the knuckle... It would make sense too. My wife was punted in the right rear when she was stopped at a light before it started eating bearings. The car got moved about a foot. We haven't gotten it realigned since then. Maybe the knuckle got torqued just enough to cause the bearings to not be happy. I would figure that there would be some uneven tire wear, but I check for that every time I rotate...
Edit: The affected wheel bearing is the left front, opposite of where she was hit (which would make sense).

That seems a stretch, the alignment shouldn't cause bearings to fail like that and to warp a knuckle you'd have to bang it up pretty hard or get it really hot, but that's the only part that that's been the constant that hasn't changed. The hub has been changed, the bearing has been changed, the nut is torqued to spec now, the only parts that haven't been changed are the knuckle and the axle right? The axle shouldn't cause any issue, it's seated inside the hub. Unless there's some fault in how you're assembly the hub and bearing together into the knuckle...like if you're pressing the hub in without supporting the inner bearing races?

How does the inside of the hub look? If there's any damage in there it can chew up your bearings. Some of the biggest causes of bearing failure are heat, contaminants, and improper installation. Given that they are new bearings, there likely isn't a lubrication issue. Could be heat or the way the bearing has been installed. Are you having the same shop install it each time?

My dad looked through his "technician database" yesterday and found that people have been having issues with the Dorman Hubs (that's what we used).
We're using a hub tamer tool to press the bearing into the hub.
The strut is worn, they all are. Haha! I don't see a bad strut affecting the bearing THAT much.
I think I'm going to get an OEM hub and try that. Hopefully it lasts longer than 3 months.

That's a possibility! I've seen some issues with Dorman products over the past few years myself, they had a bad run of ball joints on their import control arms.

Anyone work at Toyota that can get deals on OEM parts? Haha!

Ask if you pay with cash if they give a discount. Credit card transactions are expensive.

I can get shop price, but by the time you drive all the way here for it you'll have burned more money than it would have saved you.

Too late. Haha!
I ordered them through ToyotaPartsDeal. $147 shipped for the hub and wheel bearing.

I've got nothing against vegan/veggie peeps, more meat for me! Yay butthole cancer!

Oreo says they're not because they may contact things that have been in contact with milk or something, but if you're good with Oreo's then by all means Joe...eat my pie.

That doesn't bother me. They have to put that on the packaging for allergy purposes.
An example that not many people would think about: If something was fried in oil that meat was cooked in, I won't eat it... BUT I do eat honey, 100% vegans don't eat honey. That's your vegan fact of the day. Haha!

That's very true. BUT it comes from an animal, so vegans don't want it. I love me some honey, only local honey though... That store bought **** is full of corn syrup. They actually feed commercial bees corn syrup with antibiotics so they don't die off (so sad...).

Better for the environment than Agave nectar!
But I think you're confused, they don't feed commercial bees corn syrup and anti-biotic...in the US. There's 'Chinese honey' that's got all kinds of funky contamination such as heavy metals, animal anti biotics, fertilizers, etc. US honey producers just filter and pasteurize, it's the foreign sourced honey that can be of dubious quality and origin or not even honey at all.

Thought bees were an insect?
They are which are also animals. Either it's an animal or it's a plant or it's a rock.
