I just purchased used 2002 SE 6spd last weekend. The right front wheel bearing was bad and the used car dealer replaced it as part of the deal. This past weekend on a road trip, the same wheel bearing went bad.

A mechanic at my destination inspected the car and found both of my front wheel bearing lock nuts loose. The right front one had backed all the way out to the cotter pin. Due to this working loose, the wheel bearing was taking the brunt of the wobbling. If the cotter pin wasn't there, my wheel would of come off!

Based on all the complaints on here about wheel bearings I thought I would mention the above for everyone's information.

I am having the bearing replaced again (hopefully with enough info and a bad, but new bearing to take back to the used car dealer for reimbursement). I have asked the mechanic to tighten the lock nuts and put some loc-tite to keep it in place.
