Wheel bearing.. & car being too low

[dupac->]

Hey just wondering..

I have a ek4 and ek1 both of them at some stage had needed to get their rear wheel bearings changed. it gets VERY noisy while driving.

i understand its wear and tear.. and seems very common in EK's for this to happen.. but what my question is...
(common coz it happened to both of my EK's lol)

- does the wheel bearing tend to go more coz the car is low camber etc?
- does it cause more stress or anything like that?
- maybe thats why they both went on my EK's?

any info would be good... anyone else experience this with EK's too?


Thanks Du
