    I have a 2000 Honda accord with a previous front end accident. I have
    just had the rear passenger side wheel bearings changed (3 months ago)
    and now need the rear drivers side done. My Honda mechanic says this
    is surprising and only usually happens when there has been a rear end
    accident. Any thoughts on why this has happened? Thanks.

    It sat in 3 feet of water for a while? :-(

    Are you sure that both your top and bottom slider pins in the brakes are
    getting proper lubrication when the pads are inspected? It may not be
    the wheel bearing at all. Some techs swivel the caliper UP and forget to
    inspect the pin they just unbolted.

    I have had to replace both rear wheel bearings on my 2000 Accord. Of
    course it has 240,000 miles on it. The local Honda dealer actually carries
    them in stock and told me it was pretty common.
