I don’t disagree at all. That said the car is a street car only, and ahs had the rear wheel bearings done twice in 6,000 miles. Both times I used SKF bearings too, not cheap crap. The only conclusion we can come up with is too much load from the offset. Everything is being torqued to spec, so it should not be over tightening etc.
