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.

The Honda accord rear will bearing should be torqued at 60 pounds. You can ruin the wheel bearing or the wheel seal if you over torque the wheel bearing nut.
If it has been correctly maintained the it is most likely normal wear and tear. On the other hand , if your front end steering is out and over large tires that have not been aligned. if the torsion bar that attaches to lower control arm is detached all a reasons you are going threw front wheel bearing like butter. I had a Chevy GMC I wanted to get them big old new tires on and it began, time after time. Find a alignment service store that specializes in four wheel drives and four wheel alignments. So do not stress take a deep breath and get to a phone book. i promise in the event you purchase 800.00 worth of tires you can trash the front tires and then the wheel bearings . get the 65 or 70 dollar front end alignment. have it checked every 6 months or so to optimize the life of them 800.00 tires.
The 2000 Ford Explorer front hub nut has a torque specification of 140 pounds of pressure. The hub should not be over tighten. Over tightening can ruin the seal.
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.
trouble! see a mechanic. my car did that for a while and was faulty battery stopping ti from turning over. i think yours may be gearbox or driveshaft by sounds though. i really recomend not driving it when possible It could be the pitman arm in your steering and suspension system or a wheel bearing. You could also have a damaged ball joint.
