Hi there, At about 50,000km I had to replace the front right hand side (driver’s side) wheel bearing due to bearing noise and mechanic said it had worn out. Replace with a brand new aftermarket part. And now at 95,000km, I see hear the same bearing noise from same side (drivers side) and upon inspection the mechanic said it too had worn out. So my question is, what likely be the cause for only this wheel bearing (drivers side) keep on failing like this? What else I should check? Any pointers you can give me to investigate with a help of a mechanic? Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys, My car is Mazda 3 (2007) and the time has come to replace its rear wheel bearings. I've done a search in the forum and couldn't find exact answer, so posting below. I checked the prices from a place at Pepiliyana (Ma*na Motors), They quoted me around 18,000/= for Malaysian made model and 28,000/= for genuine model. (Pls note that these prices are for a single bearing). I am very new to Mazda and I'm little surprised for these values since I didn't expect for this much of price. So, could you please help me on below. - Are these prices normal? Is there anyone who bought a wheel bearing for Mazda 3 recently. If so, how was the price and from where? - Is there any known place in Panchikawaththa for Mazda parts (similar to Te*k Motors for Honda) (I noticed Asiri, Rainbow and Gamlath motors in a old threads) Thanks
