Yes. If you over tighten a bearing you will know when you hear the snap and when you inspect what is was it will fall apart. In any case you shouldtighten until snug and add a 1/4 turn, this has always worked for me and I hope it will for you.

What will cause a thumping and bumpy noise under on a S500 Mercedes front end when driving over bumpy roads and the right wheel feels like it's bouncy?
This could be caused by worn out ball joints, worn out constant velocity joints (if equipped), bad wheel bearing, worn out steering linkage, loose wheel nuts, cracked rim, worn out sway bar bushings or end links. Most of these are pretty serious, you need to have them checked ASAP. Losing a wheel at highway speed, which some of these can lead to, sucks, trust me I've seen it happen.

Front wheel hub bearings for a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria?
Should be the same as '96. You can buy the bearings with the race at your local auto parts. Remove the wheel, caliper, and rotor. The bearings are in the rotor hub assembly. The front bearing comes out very easy ( nut, bearing lock, washer, then bearing ) The race if it has to be changed has to be punched out with a punch ( brass works good ) and to install there is a tool, but I just hammer the new one in using the old one as a guide ( or punch ). The rear bearing, you have to remove the grease seal with a screwdriver the just slide the bearing out. Same thing to remove the race. If the race on both bearings is good, no need to replace. But they have to be good. Repack with wheel bearing grease, don't over pak. New seal on back, then re-assemble. More questions, send me a note on my message board. And, do not over tighten the locking nut. Spin the rotor as you tighten the nut, snug with no play will do.
What is the torque value for a 1997 Dodge Dakota front wheel bearing?
Torgue the bearing to 30-40 ft lbs,to seat the bearing, then back it out. Now tighten it by hand just enough to hold the bearing in place. Spin the wheel by hand as you snug it back up. You don't want to over-tighten it, this would cause friction, making it harder for the wheel to spin. Not too loose either though. Just enough so there's no "play" when you try to wiggle the wheel. Now you're ready to put the cotter pin back. Somebody had posted an answer with an extremely high torgue spec. If you already took that advice, you probably ruined you're bearing by now.

On a 1998 blazer wheel bearing assembly where exactly does the large o-ring go?
2000 BLAZER FRONT WHEEL HUB INSTALLATION, WHERE DOES THE LARGE O-RING GO? You can see the outer race of the wheel bearing is stepped. The large o-ring goes over the first step and buts up against the second. The o-ring may be slightly larger than the smaller diameter area on the outer race, fit a little loose, and be a little larger on outside diameter than the larger part of the bearing. The hub needs to be put in evenly. Tighten each bolt a flat at a time if you need to. The o-ring should lubed a little (I used Vaseline). As you tighten the bolts continue to check the o-ring to make sure one part isn't popping out the front or back. The o-ring should rest against the step in the knuckle which corresponds to the bearing. This is not a gasket for the dust shield.
What would make a wheel bearing go bad in a 1999 Chevy Malibu?
Lack of lubrication, improper pre-load on the bearing assembly, driving in deep water and allowing wheel bearing grease to become contaminated with foreign matter are a few of the reasons. Scheduled maintenance would catch this early on; if your vehicle is a front wheel driver then the bearing hub assembly in each wheel is sealed pretty much for the life of the car unless the seal(s) protecting the bearings are ripped or compromised. This will allow road junk to get into the bearings and once they lose their spherical shape, it's all over. Sort of like getting sand in your old time roller skate wheels and the ensuing grinding that usually follows. It is like that but on a large car scale.
