Look at http://216.78.173.63/suspension_folder/wbfront_saab900.htm


Besides using a quality bearing, three critical factors here.

1.  Support of the proper places during bearing pressing.

The pressing of the bearing must be done carefully. When pressing it into
the knuckle, the force should only be transferred via the outer race. When
pressing the hub in to the bearing, the force should only be transferred
via the inner race.

2.  The correct torque must be applied to the axle nut on reinstallation of
the axle.

3.  A new axle nut should be used anytime the old one is removed or
loosens. They are self locking and one use nuts. $3.65 nut can cost you a
wheel bearing in a month or less, depending on how far you drive.
